I finally watched Brokeback Mountain (on my own of course) and I liked it. Considering how most men feel in regard to the subject matter I can understand them not enjoying it.
The acting and storyline were very good but any story of forbidden love is bound to have a downside and it left a sense of sadness.
If you have no hesitation in watching homosexual relationships then the movie will be good for when you feel like eating ice cream and sympathising with torn characters. If you don't think you have the stomach for blatent (not pornographic) love scenes between two men then don't even attempt to watch it.

Watching two men kissing and hugging? No. Thank you. When do they break out the pudding?

I don't want to see it because it's so sad, and so tragic.

Anytime you go against the norm it's hard!

I didn't mean to.

I was just feeling badly for those people who love so much and know they can't tell ANYONE. Telling could get you killed, maybe even by the one you love. It's not just a gay thing, either.

I don't have a problem with them whatsoever. Getting killed for any reason is unacceptable.

While I'm not going to run around saying it's a good thing, they deserve the same rights and freedoms everyone else has and whatever their choice. Everyone should be able to accept it.

Wes, once when I was camping, there were 2 guys there who were lovers. It didn't bother me, but I caught myself watching them kiss to see if guys kissed each other differently than they kiss girls. (They didn't seem to.)

I don't have any problems with people doing what they want in this regards. But I could not sit there watching them kiss. To me it's a big turn off. That's just me.

In response to your comment about how it's hard to go against the norm...was there a character named Norm in that movie that the other character pressed up against?

How do you know what they said, unless you were with them?

I've never seen two guys kiss, fictionally or not.

I haven't for some time now. Even then I usually only watched scifi so that might be the reason.

That might be the reason. Female-female kissing is somewhat common, and male-male kissing is beginning to be.
