pretty fucked up that brokeback mountain is a horrifically sad movie and yet everyone acted like it was peak comedy
i remember when brokeback mountain was released (before i realized i was gay) and i remember everyone making “i wish i knew how to quit you” jokes and looking back it’s absolutely depressing how people reacted to brokeback mountain
the movie was a depressing look into being closeted and in love and being outed and gay ppl being violently murdered and somehow all straight people took away from it was “it’s so funny because…. they’re Gay…. it’s a Gay Movie”
I remember when Brokeback Mountain came out. It was the joke of the year. People thought the ‘gay cowboy movie’ was the funniest thing they’d ever heard of. SNL had a field day. You couldn’t get away from the ‘I wish I could quit you’ jokes. It wasn’t until years later when I actually saw it that I was like, ‘Holy shit, this is a deadly-serious fucking tragedy. What the fuck, people. What the fuck.’
straights love to make fun of gay men’s pain. nothing new.
The prosecutor who subpoenaed and cross-examined Hitler in 1931 for a murder trial against four brownshirts was a Jewish lawyer named Hans Litten. The three-hour testimony left Hitler so unnerved and humiliated that he forbade anyone speak Litten’s name in his presence, and he was killed in a concentration camp. Today, the German bar association is called the Hans Litten Association, and every year they give out the Hans Litten Award for excellence in the legal profession. That’s how you commemorate history.
