Martin--


SPOILER AHEAD--


The thing about Brokeback Mountain is that the characters NEVER adopt the gay lifetyle. They fight against their attractions to each other, marry and have children. The rest of society in the movie disapproves of their relationship, and one of the main characters is in fact beaten to death with a tire iron at the end of the story for being "a fag," as you put it--an ending that will surely warm the cockles of your homophobic heart.
