What's UP wiTH thaT?
I've been thinking... after witnessing Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal joking and guffawing over their roles in the critically acclaimed "Brokeback Mountain", that now that the storm is almost over they're doing a quick soft shoe to make sure that we all know they really ain't gay. The awards and acclaim have been duly received, and now the queer badge of courage must be shucked off without delay. I saw the cast on Oprah, and Jake was like, "making out with Anne Hathaway was a breath of fresh air after having to buss Heath", and there was Heath and little Michelle nauseatingly goo-goo-eyed (Quick Aside: Ok, I AM hating. They looked pretty sincere, but Tuesday was like my umpteenth Valentine's Day alone. I'm entitled). I also get the kinda sorta feeling that subconsciously the kid borne of the co-stars may have been a statement: I CAN'T BE GAY!! LOOK, I HAVE PLANTED MY SEED, AND IT HAS GLORIOUSLY SPRUNG FORTH!!
I just wonder when life will be status quo for us queers. That sweet day when the revelation that you dig people of your own sex won't be a revelation at all. And the idea that you love, is.
