I confess that I have not yet even brought myself to watch Boys Don’t Cry AT ALL. Why? Because I know how it ends, people, and I do not feel I need to be reminded of gender-and-orientation-based murderation on a regular cinematic basis. But some people, you see, *do* need this, so the genius of Brokeback Mountain is to remind people, at a moment when gay marriage is still so fraught a topic, why splitting up couples like Ennis and Jack is not going to save hetero marriage. Kudos to the best Queeers-for-Straight-People movie I’ve seen lately.
