THAT “GAY COWBOY MOVIE”QUEER PEOPLE REFLECT ON 15 YEARS OF “BROKEBACK MOUNTA”

Jt about everythg about the wboy way of life screams gay: leather, assls chaps, wboy hats, nim jackets, tight jeans, and spendg a lot of time buildg up a sweat wh other guys. Brokeback Mounta was a heartbreakg movie, but also was one of the first gay films to be regnized as a te masterpiece. It’s not exactly the same type of prtige drama as the other films on this list, but Dashg December has s own special place our gay wboy hearts.

From the begng, the film was circled by both the trigue and the stigma of beg “that gay wboy movie, ” mired both homophobic backlash and cril aversn to addrsg gayns.

WATCH THE TRAILER FOR PEDRO PASL’S GAY WTERN MOVIE

” Certa nservativ and relig—particularly Catholic—groups saw the story as an attempt to glorify homosexualy, which they perceived as a s and threat to the nuclear heterosexual fay un. Perhaps the most wispread homophobia directed toward the film was the sheer amount of sual mockery and risn faced both onle and off.

I was only 13 at the time [Brokeback Mounta me out theaters], but I distctly remember this beg “the gay wboy movie. Queer reprentatn need not always be trma-based, or rooted a forbidn love or darkns and self-hatred, nor nclu the vlent ath of the gay character.

We’re never gog to stop tellg stori like [Brokeback Mounta], which are stori about cis whe gay men gog through a hardship surroundg their g-out story. It’s tratg to watch films about cis whe gay men get ma over and over and over aga, and get greenl and ld for beg tly fe. It was kd of our ltle sndalo thg that we did; we all had sleepovers and watched Brokeback Mounta and But I’m a Cheerlear (1999)—the qutsential gay movi.

GAY COWBOY

Before I had moved and met all the new iends I was raised very nservatively by folks who only brought up gayns as a joke.

I don’t live a world whout homophobia, so I don’t expect film and TV and gam and ics to [create] worlds whout homophobia. When you’re so eply the closet, and when you spend so much energy tellg yourself that you uldn’t possibly be gay, ’s very easy to see aspects of queer culture as irrelevant.

The movie do pict a dysfunctnal and ultimately abive relatnship; Ennis punch Twist, but they keep beg magilly drawn together, and you get the sense that Ennis’ anger and vlence stems om his ternalized homophobia passed down to him om his father. Although Ledger—that betiful angel—livered a great performance, I wonr how much this movie has ntributed to the myth that all vlent homophob are actually closeted.
