Thanks Elektra - that was interesting indeed. I haven't seen the film, but I did read the Annie Proulx story, so the article added good context to it.

Have you seen the film?

Yes when it was released. It was an astonishing good film. I think it was useful in helping to humanize the whole question ---it seems that many people now have better attitudes---particularly the younger generation who hold very different ideas of gender and sexual identity matters than their parents and grandparents. I have to get a hold of the original story---that author writes strong stuff, and is not really an easy read but she is good.

Yes, I found the original story to be challenging reading, but it was very powerful. I like your phrase "it was useful in helping to humanize the whole question" smiley - ok

I hope I'm not butting in here, but the ladies in the book discussion group I once ran loved "Brokeback Mountain." I then saw the movie more than once, and visited some discussion boards about it. It hit a deep nerve in a surprisingly broad part of the public.

It didn't hurt that Ang Lee filled his cast with superb actors, who have gone on to do great things -- except for Randy Quaid, who seems lost in some form of dementia now. smiley - sadface
