*NOTE: Before i start i want to let you guys know, that i'm NOT an enemy of homosexuality. If you happen to be homosexual, please don't feel offended.
I guess you guys are all familiar with the movie "Brokeback Mountain", right? Well. I never watched it, but my mother did. And after she watched it, she was like "Hey, you really should check it out, it's an awesome movie." I was like "Dafuq? You are german since when do you speak english so fluently?"
Wait... 1st horrible pun that no one will laugh about: [V] Done.
Now let me get this bi... sorry i meant "straight": As i said, i have nothing against homosexual people. As long as they don't try to get on to me, i'm fine with them. As vash12349 said: "Whatever lights your candle", right? But to get to the point. I also use to say "I don't care what they do in their bedrooms" and this is exactly why i am NOT going to watch this movie.
I only know that it involves 2 cowboys on the countryside... Sorry but i have to do this:
First up:
And second down:
They can be glad that this movie or story took part in the usa and not in England, let alone in Llanddewi Brefi, since there is only one gay in the village:
Okay. This movie is about 2 gay cowboys and everybody knows it and thinks it's the 1 priest 1 nun (in a positive way, though.)
My question: Did any movie with lesbian content have a big impact so far? Why only a gay movie?
Okay. You know what? You know that i'm the "i only love all asian ladies" love GIANT and i like to swim against the stream. If anyone has contacts with Hollywood i want you guys to send the following wallpaper to them- the love GIANT version of "Brokeback Mountain" which would probably look like this:

This is what the world's been missing. Talk about it! Now! I demand it!
Homosexual content in Manga/Anime
I remember i had a discussion with a good friend of mine (yes, he still is.) It was at the time where i was watching an ENORMOUS amount of Anime. We were talking about that there is a SHIT TON of Yaoi Manga out there (Yaoi=Manga/Anime or Hentai that is all about "Boys love".) I mean it is really impossible.I'm a huge fan of Yuri, (Yuri=Manga/Anime or Hentai that is all about "Girls love".) i own about 6 Yuri Mangas and that's pretty much everything you can get here in germany. You can't even get them in the stores you have to purchase them via AMAZON.
Yaoi? It's the exact opposite. You just have to check out the Manga section in your local bookstore. It's probably overloaded with current Naruto, One Piece, etc. volumes, but i can guarantee you, that you will be able to find some Yaoi Manga in there, but not one Yuri Manga.
The only explanation for this overflowing Manly flower-power i can come up with, is that the Fanpage is as huge as the amount of air in Justin Biebers head. If you compare it to the Yuri-Fanbase, it's like comparing Michael Jackson's popularity with BLAHRMY (an awesome Japanese Rap group.)
BUT! If you get overfilled with this double-rainbow pinkness, then it's no freaking wonder, that it became this popular.
As u might already know i like to flow against the stream, even if i can't swim, which is quite an accomplishment. And just to prove, that i'm not the only one who feels that way, then check this out:

To conclude this Post: The gay community has a movie with a fanbase as huge as a horse's you-know-what and Manga's up the ass, but this doesn't go for the counter-part, the lesbian community...

I think gay films (I don't know if there are others than Borkeback Mountain) are more popular because there is more offence towards gays than lesbians in the world (because lesbians are considered hot by many men).
So if you watch a gay movie you can boast about your openness more than if you would watch a lesbian film. If you would watch a lesbian film and find it arousing, some feminists would rather even accuse you of objectifying women. (Don't ask me why.)
And Yaoi... It has something to do with Japanese being more sexually open... or repressed... probably just crazy.
That's just my theory. And I also want to clarify that homosexuals, feminists and the Japanese are in general wonderful people.
i never thought about it that way, but that could be a proper explanation.
especially if you take into consideration that (i guess) it is easier to get your hand on lesbian adult material than gay material. i guess this leads to the famous song from james brown "This is a man's world"
But if nobody takes the risk, then you can't change nohing, right?
I actually read that homosexuals aren't treated like second-class in japan and that their are pretty "upfront" with it. But it's just strange that there is such an enormous amount of yaoi. Why not yuri, as well?
I totally want to see your version of Brokeback Mountain now *throws money at screen*
If you have connections to hollywood, it shouldn't be a problem, dude ;D
