Don’t lie, don’t try to fool me, Ennis. I know what it means. Jack Twist? Jack Nasty.

I now believe that Ennis and Jack were both homosexual, but when I first saw the film, I sensed that Ennis was an otherwise heterosexual man who somehow fell deeply in love with a man named Jack, who I have always felt to be gay. The reason for this sense was that nowhere did I discern any sign that Ennis was attracted to any other male than Jack, and, as a gay man myself, I found this most unusual, though not conclusive evidence of any primary heterosexuality on Ennis's part.

Upon reflection, I have now come to see Ennis as an extremely repressed gay man, and so opted for 'Gay' in the poll. I do still think it possible (but unlikely) that Ennis may have been primarily heterosexual, so also opted for the category of Jack gay, and Ennis bi or straight.

I was going to sign up for Ennis as straight or bi... with Jack as gay, but I figured suddenly that Jack was bi- since of what he said about Lureen, his wife.

Great to see this pole.

Hugs to all too!!  May we have other such great polls on straights, bi-s, gays, others!!

What did Jack say about Lureen that you are referencing here?

I firmly believe both are gay. Now I can see where some others would see either one or both as bisexual. But, based on my own, uhhhh dealings with myself. And re watching the movie for the first time after coming out myself. I really believe that Ennis is gay. I mean like Ennis, I was a quiet teenager who was too scared to be myself. And up till my 20's I was the same. And due to that fear. Except for one person who I really really liked, but who was unattainable. I showed basically no interest in anyone other then her. Same as Ennis showing no interest in any other man than Jack. Except he had a chance to get the guy he loves. And Ennis was unsure and uncertain of both life and himself in quite a few places in the film, (and the book too I think, I should read it again) and I too was uncertain and unsure of myself, and I still am more often then not. I, However, didn't have a chance to get the woman I love as she didn't actually swing that way. Jack?? well, to me he's gay too. Probably even more so then Ennis as he didn't see what a 9 year old Ennis did (or at least I don't think he did). Even if his father wasn't all that accepting.

And I'm sure Ennis secretively looked at other men when he could. If he did.

I'm not a complete idiot, some parts are missing.

If all is not lost, then where is it?

I used to have a handle on life, but it broke.

I was straight, too, until I fell in love with another man.
