Shakespeare's wife was Anne Hathaway, and thus extremely Brokieish!

It's True! Mate-poaching is preferred to seeking singletons for partners, according to a study reported in New Scientist.
And in Brokeback Mountain, Jack was mate-poaching. Or was Alma? It's hard to say. Clearly, Lureen was.
So, It's True! is Brokeish.
NEXT: Tom Stoppard

Also, "It's True" is the title of Ryan Harrison's new album. Ryan sang the lead vocals for "Meet Me on the Mountain".

Tom Stoppard wrote "The Invention of Love"--about pot AE Housman's repressed homosexuality (which starred Robert Sean Leonard, Richard Easton and David Harbour!--without the Randall beard), and to Jack and Ennis, love was indeed invented on Brokeback Mountain, and so, Tom Stoppard is at least doubly Brokieish. (I was fortunate to have seen this play on Broadway in 2001. RSL won the Tony.)

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was different from, and therefore socially excluded by, all the other reindeer -- as Ennis feared he would be, on account of his own differences -- until the love of a good man gave Rudolph a sense of purpose and fulfillment, as it did for Ennis.
Also, elk -- a symbol of Jack's and Ennis' relationship -- and reindeer are both kinds of deer.
So, if you ever saw him, you would even say Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is doubly Brokieish!
