All quiet on the gay western front

Not wanting to give their foes free publicity, right-wing Christian groups say they won't boycott or picket "Brokeback Mountain."

    What? No more free publicity?

    So the right-wing Christian groups, who in the past have helped generate ticket sales for movies they didn't approve of, have decided not to give Brokeback Mountain a hand up? No worries - I think the movie will succeed just fine on its own without them.

    Here's an idea though: how's about everyone in the gay community and all of our heterosexual friends go see the movie twice to make up for the loss of ticket sales that the right-wing Christian boycotters would have generated. I'll even go three or four times if it'll help.
