I have never watched Broke Back Mountain and I never will. I have zero interest in a gay love story. I have friends and family who are gay and I have absolutely no issues with their choice of who they want to date, screw or marry. Its none of my business and I refuse to make it so. I just don't want their shit thrown in my face every other day. Just like they don't want my shit dominating their existence.

That being said, I don't want to spend my money going to watch or be force fed gay story lines. I just have no interest. Just like I have no interest in seeing The Notebook. Not a chance in hell I am going to spend my time and money watching that crap. If it doesn't have violence, hilarity, a jump into hyperspace or beautiful naked young starlets in it, I ain't going to watch it.

"Bro's" failed miserably at the box office. It cost about 40 million and it earned 4 million. Now we are all homophobic for not going to watch it. It will never be enough will it? We either celebrate it and lavish unending attention and praise on people for who they like to screw or we are labeled as homophobic. The country has changed so much over the last 50 years but there is always a minority who wants more and if they don't get it, we, me, are to blame even though we are just trying to live a good life, support our families and treat everyone as we would like ourselves to be treated.

Billy Eichner Blames “Straight People” for ‘Bros’ Box Office Flop

"Everyone who ISN’T a homophobic weirdo should go see BROS tonight! You will have a blast! And it *is* special and uniquely powerful to see this particular story on a big screen, esp for queer folks who don’t get this opportunity often. I love this movie so much. GO BROS!!"

    The Notebook actually has a pretty solid sex scene with Rachel McAdams.

    I promise to go see it after they release it in Saudi Arabia and China. But only if there's ZERO editing.

    Screw the Hollywood hypocrites.

    I told my wife during the heavy promotional run that there might not be enough gay folks and single straight white women out there to make all their money back. Guess I was right.

    BTW, Birdcage was a pretty great movie. Good call on that one.
