Best Gay movie Ever!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (28 January 2006)

I have to say that this is the first REALISTIC gay movie I've ever seen. It's the first time gay men weren't portrayed as nelly queens you laugh at, week & powerless victims, sex machines or dieing of aids. FINALLY, a movie that actually shows what it's like to be gay in rural America. So many times my lover & I have said that we felt like we felt exactly like these guys & had been trapped in the same situations in the past. It shows how gay men get trapped in a relationship with a woman just to keep up appearances to protect themselves from the wrath of the ignorant. I was extremely moved by the picture. This film is an instant classic & the line "I'm not queer. I'm not queer either" Is just as powerful & memorable as "Luke I am your father".
We were disturbed by the reactions of the str8 audience laughing during the 2 scenes where the boss & wife secretly caught a peak at the men being gay. They all laughed as if that was funny. As a gay man I don't understand this reaction. I see nothing funny about 2 men in love that have to hide it from the world or risk being killed for it "funny". People are more prejudiced then they realize & this movie will help open there eyes that gay love is just as real as any other & not something to be minimized.
For a movie of this magnitude to be this popular during the current administration renews my faith in the American people & the real social value of today's society despite what Washington would have us believe. This film is a must see movie, I'm going to tell every one I know to go see it, even Mom!
