The gay cowboy movie ruined my marriage
Brokeback Mountain
Jen saw this on Tribe.net
Meghan Thompson says:
"I saw this movie (Brokeback Mountain) with my husband earlier this week at the Toronto Film Festival. I didn't think it was good at all. It turns out that this movie is nothing but a perverted gay love story. I didn't know that before we saw it. My husband, on the other hand, couldn't stop raving about how great it was and how it really opened his eyes. Last night, he told me he wanted a divorce, and he was moving in with his best friend Erik. I think this movie turned him gay! I am so upset. He has never indicated anything about being gay, or behaved in a gay manner. When he found out that a friend of ours from church might be gay, we stopped talking with him. That's how straight he was!!! We had a great sex life as well. I know this movie changed him. When is Hollywood going to stop peddling this kind of corrupting perverted garbage? I'm sure this will win an oscar or something and now I have to start my life over because it made my husband turn gay."
Oh, honey......he stopped speaking to the guy because he didn't want to be caught out as gay.
Why do you think he took you to see the gay cowboy movie?
I've been joking about this with Jen, that she should take a friend of hers to see this, and watch him flip out as the cowboys bang each other. I saw three jokes about this in 24 hours, on SNL. E!,s The Soup and in the Boondocks strip in the papers.
The movie only gave him the courage to do what he was going to do anyway.
But I think as this movie goes into wide release, all hell is going to break loose. This attacks the idea of machismo and manhood in a fundamental way,despite the fact that gay subtext can be seen in movies like Red River. If people can't handle Ellen DeGeneres, the idea of gay cowboys will make these people batshit.
I expect a LOT of political pressure on the Academy to not nominate the film for Best Oscar or best director. I mean, full out ugly threats from Congress.
