Yes, the term 'Brokeback Marriage' seems to have entered our language, for better or worse. I run across it fairly frequently looking for Movie Resources items!
You were one of the first people to ever send a message to me here at BetterMost, Lynne, when I first joined last November. I was a very serious little possum back then. Full of sorrow, angst and mourning for dear sweet Jack and Ennis. You will remember that I was dedicating sonnets to them both, back then. Sonnets were about all I could manage at that point of time in my life. Post-BBM / Pre-BetterMost, I was beginning to think I may never be able to laugh, ever again. BetterMost changed all that. One of my first posts, at "Introduce Yourself," introduced all my new-found BetterMost friends not only to myself, but also to my soul-mate, with whom I had shared many years of my life. Many years, that is, until he left me to marry the woman of his choice. Oh, yes, Lynne, the term Brokeback Marriage has particular poignant relevance for me, indeed.
