A Real Man's Guide to "Brokeback Mountain"

The two most important things that those of us who are "real men" most do is this: (1) make sure everyone knows that you are not gay, and (2) make sure everyone knows that you are not homophobic either, in that order.

It's okay to have gay friends so long as the two of you are never alone together, and never, ever in a hot tub!  And by all means, don't carry a man purse!  Uh, not that there's anything wrong with that.

So if you go to see "Brokeback Mountain" make sure there's a woman sitting beside you.  Better yet, one on each side.

I understand that the two guys who play the gay cowboys are closet heterosexuals.  Well, okay.  But, you just know that most young leading men types really love the adulation they get from their female fans.  That has to be one of the lures of stardom.  What hetero guy wouldn't relish the thought of scores of beautiful gals swooning over them?

So I have to wonder how those two actors will feel when it develops that their biggest fan base consists of gay men.  Oh well, just stay out of the hot tubs.

This movie will eventually appear on tv, Bravo channel is a good bet.  So, fellow real men, if you see the movie then there has to be something you can say you liked about it or else you might appear homophobic.  So here it is: "The scenery is spectacular!"  (Or so I've heard.)
