"D" is distant

"What Jack remembered and craved in a way he could neither help nor understand was the time that distant summer on Brokeback when Ennis had come up behind him and pulled him close, the silent embrace satisfying some shared and sexless hunger."  [story]

When it was time to leave Brokeback, Jack and Ennis had fallen head over heals in love with each other.

"G" is grimacing

"Like vast clouds of steam from thermal springs in winter, the years of things unsaid and now unsayable -- admissions, declarations, shames, guilts, fears -- rose around them.  Ennis stood as if heart-shot, face grey and deep-lined, grimacing, eyes screwed shut, fists clenched, legs caving, hit the ground on his knees."  [story]

"A young cowboy (Jake Gyllenhaal) and sheepherder (Heath Ledger) fall in love out West, only to face the complications that their passion will inevitably bring in the face of the 1960s.  With Jen from 'Dawson's Creek' (Michelle Williams) and Princess Anne Hathaway as their expectedly frustrated wives, and directed by the celebrated Ang Lee...."
