Is "brokeback" the new "codeword" for gay?

[Caoimhe]

Noticed this morning that the Today Show did a stupid piece with Al and Matt in a 2 man luge and it was referred to by them with giggles as "brokeback mornings"

What does this movie have to do with Olympic sports?
I am sickened by the MSM

1. Howard Stern humor

Tiny brains, tiny amusements.

[LiberalGuy000]

2. typical

American male homophobia and discomfort with sexuality in general...

[marmar]

3. It appears so...

apparently fans were yelling Brokeback Mountain at the other team during a basketball game at Gonzaga University recently....
Two steps forward, three steps back. :(

4. delete

Their PR person. She assured me that they were painfully aware of the event and that the students were being counseled and it would not happen again.

5. I contacted Gonzaga about that yell

6. Good think I don't watch the Today Show...

...or really, any TV. If I watch anything it's the Daily Show, Colbert Report or something on the History or Science Channel.

7. You can count on teenage boys for homophobia. How old are Al & Matt?

[sui generis]

8. adopt it

it's not going away, any more than "queer" is.

Is it REALLY offensive? I'm not offended. It's colorful and clever (to dimwits) and socially relevant. And nobody will even remember that it was supposed to mean gay ten years from now when some other clever doublespeak is used.

Those pesky breeders, just sit around all day and try to think up more ways to persecute us . . .:rofl:

It's all good.

9. I agree.

I love to argue w/ phobe's on line.

When ever they throw out their oh so clever slurs I like the throw them back at them.

Example: When some neo-con-poop uses "butt pirate" my stock responce. "Now where DO you people come up with this witty remarks? What just is a 'butt pirate'? Is it a giant butt with a patch over one cheek and parrot sittin' on the other?".

13. Spit-take!

I am going to be thinking about a giant butt dressed up like a pirate all day now. Too funny!

[Kerrytravelers]

14. You're so sassy!

I love it!

:hi: :loveya:

10. What does it have to do with American Idol?

My wife has to watch it...and I'm in the room...so ya know.
Last week there was "Brokenote Mountain"...they had these three guys all dressed up as cowboys and did they suck! One actually is a cowboy I think. And they worked in the bestiality element as well, because the real cowboy only "sings" to turkeys. (You know the next step after gay marriage is marrying animals, and children...well that goes without saying.) I'm going into all this detail, because I know NONE of you would stoop to watch the show. Personally, I think they just did it to piss off GLAD a little more.
My thoughts are: that at least we are visible...we exist. When I was growing up, lo those many years ago...we were invisible, especially in small, southern towns such as my own.
My wife is totally insulted by these jokes, and finds them tasteless.

Let's face it: the only groups left to kick around are gays and fat people.

Then again, AI is A FAUX show, after all.

Discuss.....
