Feedback: Brokeback Gay or Not?
Subject: Gay?
The Heath Ledger character isn't gay. He's a straight man who finds
the kind of love he needs being a very love and touch-deprived man from another man who is more able to give love than the women in both their lives.

Subject: Brokeback Mountain - YES ITS GAY
Of course it's a gay movie.
Gay men in a straight world is still a gay experience. I'm gay and I
get so tired of all of the annoying, political over-analyzing in our community. Just call it what it is at face value ... a gay movie. I can't imagine my straight cousins and brothers huddleded around a TV watching this movie while drinking beers after a long day of riding dirtbikes.
Maybe the mainstream gay community would think it would be "gay" if
they had some crystal meth and some Techno and/or House music.
