--- Quote from: Garry_LH on July 06, 2006, 11:33:29 am --- The more I find out, the more I believe Brokeback Mountain was the will of Spirit. This story, that Annie Pourlx has said at times it felt like a hand from above was guiding her as she wrote of Jack and Ennis, had to wait till the right director, actors, and promoters, that could be brought together at just the right moment to bring forth this story with the power to effect so many lives. Brokeback Mountain is here to awaken those of us that were desperately waiting for something we didn't even know we were missing. It is a blessing I will honor in my own life, for the rest of my life.
--- End quote ---
I am a Benedictine Monk, an order 1500 years old. I am also gay. In fact, most of the clergy that I know is gay. Getting the mix right between a healthy sexuality and celibacy is a calling and a lifelong challenge. This film to me was a gift from God. I have never been so moved by anything in my life other than HIM! I'm proud to be Br. Patrick! I'm sorry that I have to be a 'cafeteria Catholic' in order to live out my calling. But if you can't fix it, you gotta stand it (and be willing to speak out for change when it's appropriate).

Heya,
I'm bumping this because recently the topic of Anne's brother has come up again.
:)
Artiste:
I admire her for being honest... saying that her gay brother is important to her and as a person !!
Artiste:
May she know that her gay brother is important to us here on Bettermost, as we accept persons who are gay men... lesbians, and others !!
