8 MOST REALISTIC GAY SEX SCEN

Scene om Freier Fall, a German film about gay ps Marc and Kay. Queerty recently did a great roundup of the most realistic gay sex scen morn cema — verg everythg om Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger’s magil moment that tent on Brokeback Mounta to some newer offergs like Blue is the Warmt Color, which jt premiered Philly at the Philalphia Film, you’ll fd clips (when available) of all the selectns wh lks to where you n fd them on Netflix (when available. It’s hard to believe but 15 years have passed sce the inic gay film Brokeback Mounta was released.

In this regular lumn, we’ll look at pictns of queers cema and ask, Was It Good For The Gays? G Van Sant had tried to direct (he pched to Matt Damon, who turned down bee he had already played a gay man and a wboy before and didn’t want to do both aga); Mark Wahlberg was once nsired for the lead, but he turned down bee, duh, ’s about gay guys.

WAS IT GOOD FOR THE GAYS: ‘BROKEBACK MOUNTA’

Conservative groups issued boytts of the film, polil punds acced of phg a gay agenda, and notorly lost the Amy Award for Bt Picture to Crash; many crics acced Amy voters of homophobia, as the film was the bt-reviewed release of the year, and, spe the Osr loss, was also the year’s most honored film.

And, as most gay dramas, has an unhappy endg: Twist di, likely murred for beg gay. It’s fluence on popular culture nnot be nied, for better or for worse — ne years later, people are still makg gay wboy jok. The Pros: In terms of basic visibily, Brokeback Mounta was a huge w for the gays.

) And what better way to stoke the classic homophobic fire by makg wboys (OK, technilly they’re “ranch hands, ” but, you know, they’re wboys) — the most classic image of good old Amerin masculy — a ltle queer? But is there anythg one uld actually suggt wasn’t good for the gays Brokeback Mounta? You uld make an argument that do ph a “gay agenda” as all of those nservative talkg heads suggted.

After all, prents the gay experience as somethg that is normal and ordary; the only extraordary thg about , fact, is that there are people out there so disgted by the ia of men havg sex wh other men that they take their homophobia to such extrem — eher issug verbal or physil asslts on those they have emed unsirable bee of their own private sexual practic. I will say, however, that ’d be nice to see a film that teach lsons about tolerance and empathy but did not also require vlent imagery which a gay man is the victim.
