Cowboys have become an American icon, the very essence of manhood.  The idea that cowboys could be just normal everyday people with everyday problems is disturbing to a lot of the general public.  The thought that for example "the Marlboro Man", could be homosexual or bisexual ruins the mystique and romantic ideology of the whole post civil war era, Go West Young Man theme that our culture has come to take as the honest to God truth.  The fact that homosexuality has been around since before the Ancient Greco-Roman eras and was commonly accepted, even encouraged has been forgotten or buried under our more "MORALISTIC" current society.  The premise of this movie is totally realistic, and i look forward to seeing it, even though i am a happily married cowgirl to a most-definitely heterosexual equally happy cowboy.  Grow up people, accept and embrace the differences in our society or at the very least keep your fire and brimstone speeches and attitudes out of the theatres and in the church houses where they belong!
why the movie brokeback mountain, hasn't been shown in all movie theaters?
