I saw "Brokeback Mountain" this weekend -- one of the most beautiful, touching, profound, heartbreaking movies I have ever seen, and probably will likely ever see.

Y'all know what the movie is about, so I won't recap. I will say that it's one of those movies that leaves an impact long after you see it.

I've always been fairly liberal, and have never understood why homosexuality is so looked-down on. I mean, it's hard enough to find love, so when people do, what does it matter what their sexual orientation is? But I defy those who are against it to see this movie and not be moved. It truly is one of the most beautiful love stories on film. The fact that it's between two men doesn't change that.

I thought Heath Ledger was excellent as "Ennis." But Jake Gyllenhaal was absolutely amazing as "Jack," who is more comfortable with his sexuality and more willing to live out in the open. It's a damn shame that they couldn't.

Whichever way you feel about the issue, I implore you to see the movie. If it doesn't change your opinion, it will at least humanize it.
