What have fundies said about "Brokeback Mountain"?
I can imagine this flick would REALLY piss them off since it treads on their most sacred of cows, the machisimo of the Old West....

1. It always seemed to me that exaggerated machismo was just
compensation for the fear that one might like men a bit more than he "should". Usually when I see someone who is really, really macho, my first thought is "closet case".

I think "Brokeback" exposed them. Think about it, why would a straight guy want to do something where he was around men only for months and even years on end?

2. Read some of the reviews on IMDB...
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0388795/

Not really the reviews (ten pages and only one fundie review!), but the message boards are absolutely hilarious!

6. I have no idea what Brokeback Mountain is
but I initially read it as bareback mountain, so they have to preder Brokeback to that, right?

28. I will be willing to bet that there will be a bareback mountain
after the success of this movie, only it will have a different rating. :evilgrin:

7. I haven't heard them say that much of anything
to tell you the truth. They are usually ahead of the curve on the old outrage-o-meter. They seem to be falling behind.

I can't wait to see it though.

25. Waaaaaa, no Gays at FR? Blasphemy, all closet queens there
In the Ken Mehlman mold. Talk the talk, afraid to walk the walk. Unless they can hide behind (no pun intended) a public office. Then they troll on the public dole. Until the recall bell tolls.:silly:

11. No, but they'd definitely be interested
in the accompanying reflexive hate.
