So, there's a new movie in the works. It's called Brokeback Mountain and stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger as gay cowboy lovers.

As one might well expect, the IMDb boards are spoogy. Besides the obvious OMGNOGAYPEOPLE!!!!, I came across this thread about how gay movies are good but lesbian movies don't count.

Of course there's the rejoinder of "I don't like seeing ANY sex in the movies!" to which venusebony replies that the term homosexual is sexist.

I think that is is very LESOBPHOBIC and ANTI LESBIAN to suggest that lesbians aren't the real "homosexuals." First, I have a problem with the term "homosexual" which of course is based on patriarchial principles about gay men. Gay men from my own personal experience many are VERY SEXIST and ANTI WOMAN. Lesbians struggle with a lot of crap from heterosexism from the mainstream, sexism/male violence from men, and sexism from gay men. Lesbians also are discriminiated by the gay male community.

Yes, gay men are anti-woman. The same way lesbians are anti-man. They don't want to FUCK THEM!

Plus, of course, the reminder, in reply, of the source of the word homosexual. I just had to throw that in.
