If it were about lesbian cowgirls any men who claim to watch it for the contreversy would be accused of being horny pervs. Thus it wouldnt recieve as much notice from the 'in' crowd.

This. The "OMG LESBIANS!!!" factor would mean that such a movie would be viewed as gratuitous male-oriented smut, especially coming from a male director. There're still some inherently different ways in which male and female homosexuality is treated, especially in the arts. Lesbianism has always had a stronger showing throughout history, and is more 'accepted' these days because its sexual side is a pleasing idea to most men. "I'm cool with it 'cause it's really smurfing hot". A very lopsided and misogynistic view, but that's most males for you.

For my part, I found Brokeback Mountain really hard-hitting and passionate. Damn fine movie. A few parallels to Wong Kar-wai's Happy Together, which I'd thoroughly recommend to just about anyone, but considerably different in its scope and depth.

Homosexual is a fun word.

Yes indeed.
