It took me forever to see Brokeback Mountain because of all the social issues surrounding it (especially being in high school in the south). Even then the first time I watched it I avoided making a connection with it, fearing social backlash if I found it to be a film of notable quality. I couldn't even imagine being in the minds of the voters during that time period. <br /><br />Even now though I think its continuing label as the "gay cowboy" movie among people in the south shows a grand ignorance for social change. Yet, for all my flaws I'm a believer in pure equality, something I'm proud of. At the same time even the most faint look at history shows that no true oppression lasts, and all things deemed socially deviant eventually become accepted. <br /><br />From experience I can say it takes no real courage to be a straight single male from a middle class family. I couldn't even begin to imagine how hard it is to be anything but.Univarnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01437654003558435749noreply@blogger.com
