SO ABOUT THAT GAY COWBOY MOVIE STARRG PEDRO PASL AND ETHAN HAWKE…
Y, Pedro Pasl and Ethan Hawke are playg gay wboys a movie takg place the wild wt, Strange Way of Life. Hontly, we always need more queer Wterns starrg gay wboys. The words “gay” and “wboy” go together like peanut butter and jelly.
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. Next time someone says wboys aren’t gay, simply pot them to the five movi. Speakg of Brokeback Mounta, this is the blueprt for the morn gay wboy film.
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.
DASHG DECEMBER IS THE GAY COWBOY CHRISTMAS ROMANCE WE NEED
Ask anyone who’s seen Brokeback Mounta (2005) to characterize the film three words, and you’re almost certa to hear some variatn of “gay wboy love-story. Detractors, largely spearhead by right-wg and relig groups, quickly and fervently emed the film’s pictn of a homosexual uple immoral, evince of an attempt to femize men, and even anti-Amerin. In many s, crics honed on the two leads ’ occupatns as wboys, challengg the existence of a “gay wboy” Amerin history.
” Other crics acced filmmakers of phg an “agenda” onto Amerins, wh one wrg that “Hollywood screenwrers and producers thk that ’s their duty to teach Ameri that homosexual nduct and cross-drsg are normal behavrs that should be affirmed Amerin culture. The beliefs, though objectively bafflg, beg tertg qutns: Was homosexualy ever accepted Ameri’s past?
Supported by sendary sourc, I will argue that this myth is rooted homoerotic relatnships, a reflectn of historil fact. In light of this ntentn, I will explore the reali of homosexualy and homosocialy amongst wboys the Old Wt, argug that they were accepted and monplace.
THE REAL GAY WBOYS
” While Cooper do not tail explic sex between the two, their relatnship is unmistakably homosocial. In this way, Cooper has embedd an acknowledgement of same-sex love the very heart of Amerin myth, directly ntrastg claims that homosexualy is an unnatural and/or morn ventn.
Furthermore, the homosocialy scribed Cooper’s work is not purely imagative, but actually reflective of historil rerds ditg the prence of homoerotic relatnships among wboys the ontier wt, keepg wh Cooper’s assertn that the stori were spired by tal he had been told by actual wboys.
“Homoerotic iendships prerve privilege and ensure survival a hostile wilrns” (Packard 15).
