Bareback Mountain

Leave it to the animal lovers to find the real controversial issue in an otherwise unremarkable movie:

"Brokeback Mountain," the controversial film about homosexual cowboys in love, allegedly had a lack of loving concern for the animals featured in the film.

The American Humane Association has fired off a letter to the movie's director, Ang Lee, expressing dismay over reports animal care and protection guidelines were violated during production of the Oscar-nominated film, claiming it sends "a dangerous message" that the public condones animal endangerment for the sake of entertainment.

There are always going to be sexual acts that individuals don't "fancy"...I'll admit that I don't plan to watch the movie - but, the male actors are willing participants in the movie, getting paid, and I would assume aren't hurting one another.

Hurting animals for human entertainment (or any other reason) is cause for concern. So, yes, I think it is the "real controversial issue".

public condoms for the sake of entertainment.
in case you arent PERSONALLY familiar with gay sex(i'm not either), you would know that "bareback" refers to homosexual anal sex acts performed without a condom. (ick!)
this is how sanfrancisco, a gay friendly city went from a free-love hippy haven of "Haight-Ashbury" to the aids capital of America.

there is an oopenly gay female democratic sheriffs candidate running, and if nominated, or elected, it will open the floodgates to the world saying "come to fort wayne- "all-anal city "....and attract all kinds of unsavory characters,

so imagine- the odd couple- coupling.
"BUTCH" cassidy and the buttdance kid.
buttman and robin.
the sting-? johnny cashes "burning ring of fire- extinguished with preparation X

As Jerry springer, and Howard Stern say- "we love lesbians"
I say "just not for sheriff..and please dont ask, dont tell...

and if you have to know, google
"gay cops", or "lesbian cops"

No, I don't need to know everything, thank you very much...How does sexual orientation affect someone's ability to be a sheriff? Anyway, I thought we were talking about cruelty to animals.

Sounds to me like you're fixated and a little too worried about the personal life of others.
How does it affect you personally and why worry about it so much?
