Gay Cowboys
There is a movie out in some theaters now called Brokeback Mountain. Apparently it is a movie about gay cowboys, from what I can tell. I haven't seen it, but I guarantee you that I will never see this movie, ever.The interesting aspect of the movie is how everyone is wondering how this movie will do in flyover country. Now, I am no political scientist, nor am I a movie industry executive, but I think I can safely say that in places like Canton, Ohio or Waterloo, Iowa or Branson, Missouri that this movie will be a severe flop. Of course, the lame "writers" at the New York Times predict a new wave of acceptance. But if it doesn't happen, they will claim the Midwest is still a hotbed of gay haters. But enough of them, it isn't worth anyones time to take apart a NYT editorialist who has never probably lived in the Midwest, much less participated in a manly activity like going to a football game or grilling a sausage.Normal, cornfed Midwestern guys like me and the friends I have don't want to see movies with gay men in them. Simple as that. Nothing to analyze, no hidden agendas, no secrets. We are men that don't like to see other men holding hands, kissing or anything else. That's it. Hey, look at that, millions in potential research dollars saved, by me! I await the check from Hollywood. I think a mass release of the gay cowboy movie all over the Midwest is a stupid move.Why does everything need to be so complex?
