Brokeback Mountian is cancelled, and no one cares.
Since the link no longer works, the article was about a cancelled run of Brokeback Mountain. I actually never even saw it. I'm not much for sappy romance and longing, of any sexual orientation.

"Broad Utah audience"?
Newsflash: Utah is 99.5% MORMON. A film about two gay cowboys who leave each other and get married to women would not be well-received, particularly the part where they "rekindle their relationship over the years". The Bible isn't big on adultery or homosexuality, as far as I can tell. I'm really tempted to watch it to see how many commandments are broken.
Seriously, though, I read an article in middle school about a movie made about Nixon in the 70's, that was pretty much Fahrenheit 911. One Utah theater that was brave enough to show it had to cancel it after the first screening, as the crowed rioted, and did about $2,000 damage to the theater. And that's 1970's dollars.
And people are complaining because he canceled it? I don't see any complaints from the crowd that must have been anxious for gay cowboy love, just one little snipe from "Equality Utah", a "gay rights advocacy group."
And another topic: I am so fucking sick of groups who are for "equality". That is bullshit, most of these groups do not see (insert "minority" group here) as being equal, they see them as better, since every single fucking "offense" by someone from the "majority" is a crime that should be settled with millions of dollars in courts...
Two Scenarios:
Me: (accidentally steps on someone's foot, as I frequently do) Oh, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?
Another "majoritarian": Sure, it's cool. Take it easy!
Me: Have a good night!
Me: (accidentally steps on a precious minority's foot) Oh, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?
Minority: You racist, sexist, capitalist bitch!!! You are oppressing me!! I have the right to stand, WITHOUT having my toes crushed my some klutzy cow!!! You have no right to oppress me!
Me: Chill out.
Minority: "Chill"??? Are you implying that I'm hot, because my skin is darker than yours?? You bitch! If I'm hot, I'm hot under the collar, because feel that you can injure me, and then toss ethnic slurs at me!
Me: Security. Help.
Minority: Oh, that's right. Call security! More people to oppress my people! YOU'RE ALL INVOLVED IN A CONSPIRACY TO OPPRESS US!!!!
Security arrives. They see minority person foaming at the mouth and apply pepper spray. Minority person is dragged, kicking and screaming from the room.
Me: God, I need a drink.
Next day: "Daily Star" headline: "Minority discriminated against, victimized by security guards"
I feel like these scenarios should be a comic to better illustrate my point.
