Gay Cowboys

Sunday, January 1st, 2006

Although it was featured in our Christmas newsletter, Arthur and I didn’t actually see Brokeback Mountain before we published the newsletter despite a few attempts to see the movie. Good thing our preemptive judgement was more accurate than a claim of Iraqi WMDs. But in many ways Brokeback Mountain is a WMD, at least to hetero hegemony.

Finally, a gay love story that doesn’t involve suffering from AIDS. Seriously. Why can’t Hollywood show more hott gay guys that aren’t crystal queens, club hoppers, sex addicts, flaming queers, or STD warehouses? I have many gay male friends and few fall into these stereotypes. American society must realize that gay culture in the 1980s and the cast of RENT don’t represent most gays today.
