Why Conservatives should love Brokeback Mountain
March 08, 2006News & Politics
Bryan Collinsworth pens a somewhat cheeky but nonetheless rational piece on why social conservatives ought to love Brokeback Mountain. In essence: because they stay in the durned closet and then "defeat their gayness" before they "go ahead and get married to women, settle down, and raise kids�just the way God supposedly intended."
Collinsworth points out that O'Reilly and others have stated that "Consenting adults in the privacy of their homes should not have sexual activity monitored" and that "they’re fine with gay people, as long as they keep their 'gayness' to themselves." So why get all up in arms and attempt to suppress this movie when the protagonists squelch their affections and adhere to society's dicta?
