Well, they may not be boycotting it, but the fundies are plenty ready to tell us what they hate about the movie. This is surprising, since the movie - featuring Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal as cowboys who while away one lonely summer by falling in love and indulging in an awful lot of grunty, spit-lubed gay sex - seems, on paper at least, calculated to cause maximum offence against America's most cherished myths and favourite movie genre.
I t seems that the massed forces of the American right will not, repeat not, be picketing Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain, mainly since they don't want to give it any more publicity than it's getting.
