Accurate Portrayal of 1960's Homophobia

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2006)

A superb account of what it was like to be gay in the 1960's: if people find out you are gay, they won't give you a job.
In the 1960's, many gays and lesbians married and had children because of social pressure, then later regretted it. Thank goodness that the environment is much improved, today.
Brokeback was beautifully photographed, directed and acted. It also illustrated that even the most masculine of men (the American cowboy) can be born with same gender attraction. Gay men are frequently stereotyped as limp wristed, feminine and lispy: Brokeback breaks that stereotype.
My adult kids loved the movie, too.
