Suddenly there was that kind of tipping moment where it was not cool to tell a homophobic Brokeback joke. Suddenly you had to tell nice jokes or do nice parodies or celebrate [the movie] because there was no one to argue with. I really think there is a very powerful aspect to the things you don't notice. You don't notice when the guy at the water cooler pauses and thinks, “I better not tell this joke because I realize that a lot of people have seen this movie and seem to like it, and maybe it's not safe for me to push it here.”

Wayne thank you for posting that...it is the first time I have seen a really indepth conversation about the Oscar night loss...very cool.
I wish the tipping point had come a bit sooner though.
I HAVE noticed that people down here are using the term Brokeback in everyday conversation. and not in a derogatory way either...I mean not sneering...
like when people see that picture of the stallion sniffing the geldings behind....they say they are going Brokeback on us...
ok maybe that doesn't read right....but it seems less homophobic than what I am used to hearing...the tone I mean

Like: "You know I ain't queer"
"Yeah, but your Brokeback as hell." :o
