So if Brokeback mountain has gay cowboys...
And the Sutter brothers are cowboys...
Would you feel different about D. Sutter if he was gay?
I think he would still scare me. Maybe even more than he does now.
But I would still love him.

As a player, it would still probably be better to be on Sutter's backside than his bad side.

There are many who think ALL cowboy movies back through time, those with a buddy theme anyway like a couple of guys roaming the ole praireeee, are actually GAY themed anyway.
Its just that you get to see the sex and the kissing this time.

Less than 10% of the population is Gay yet it appears as though 50% of all movies, TV shows or commercials require a Gay person in it. We get it already, and weve given rights to be whatever you want to be....but 90% of us dont care and dont wanna be. We LOVE the opposite sex.
Who gives a flying fart about Gays and what they do, except Gays?
I work with Gay Architects and Interior Designers and quite frankly they dont represent what is shown in the mainstream media anyways....Im sure thats typical to CPs friend MRCBiology.

Yes, because TV is an accurate representation of the real world  . TV always has attractive people. Only 10% of people are attractive, so those attractives can cram it up their ass! Only 23% of people are funny, yet TV is full of funny people! Where do they get off? And black people, I've seen like 2 today, but there is shows with whole families of them! And where is the natives? I saw 5 of them under the train tracks on my way back to work. And why do people's offices always look so cool on TV? My office isn't like that. And honestly, does EVERYONE drive new cars?

To be fair cheese, if 10% of people are gay, and the average show has 10 or more people in it (which seems likely when you include bit characters) then it is more likely than not that 50% of shows would have gay people in them.

Personally I can't think of a single gay commercial and the only two gay tv shows I can think of have been cancelled. There are far more crime scene investigators on TV than gay characters, I'm sure of it.
Oh wait Six Feet Under has a gay couple. That's one.

C3P0 was clearly gay. Data too (look at how neat his personal grooming habits were). I suspect #6 is at least Bi. That's just greedy as far as I'm concerned.
Sci fi is very progressive when it comes to robots sleeping around.

That Carnation Coffee-Mate commercial with Josee Chounaird and those two guys is pretty gay. I'm sure you've seen it. Apparently EVERYONE just HAS to try this new caramel-whatever-it-is.

Really though I've only heard of half of those shows you listed and I don't watch any of them. Maybe if I did it would seem like pink is the new black to me as well. I still haven't seen any gay commercials. Come to think of it I havent even seen the movie this whole thing is about. I must be a homophobe as well. Or maybe I'm just cheap.
You know what else I am? Homophonic. That's why you won't ever see me use the words "Knight" or "Yore". Kinda ruins a whole genre for me, now that you mention it.

I think that's fair. A lot of people just don't like the genre. Actually, I'm not too big on it either. I didn't see Titanic for years for of the same reason.
I am buying into the hype of this movie though. I heard it makes you think, and that is all I really want from a film most of the time.

What, you didn't go see Titanic for a long time?
Why do you hate sailors?
Or was it that you were afraid that if you saw it you would become a sailor?
See everyone, the closet gay idea is incredibly valid and makes perfect sense.

But this movie isn't your typical Hollywood "Gay everything". The two characters were cowboys who had a very secret romance. It wasn't like an episode of Will and Grace, which I personally find stupid. The characters were not like David Fischer in Six Feet Under, who is basically a whiny baby wuss. These were your typical cowboys from the Western Plains to everyone they associated with. If you don't want to see it because you think it might be like the other main stream homosexual stuff you see on tv, your avoiding it for the wrong reason. Its a great movie. Ang Lee did a great job.

There have been a lot of movies like this, just substitue, a white woman and black man 100 years ago, or an english princess an a commone dude in 16th century england, or a Jew and a Muslim. BUt because this is a gay forbidden love it is suddenly big new thing.

Here's something that may shock you:
There's probably like 5 different stories ever if you want to boil it down that far.
Here's something else that may shock you:
A new take on an old theme ... draws attention!
Brokeback Mountain isn't "Romeo & Juliet....but gay!" Nor is Romeo & Juliet the first ever forbidden love story.
