The film, an R-rated Western gay romance story, was supposed to open Friday at the Megaplex at Jordan Commons in Sandy, a suburb of Salt Lake City. Instead it was pulled from the schedule. A message posted at the ticket window read: "There has been a change in booking and we will not be showing 'Brokeback Mountain.' We apologize for any inconvenience." Cal Gunderson, manager of the Jordan Commons Megaplex, declined to comment. The film, starring Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, is about two cowboys who discover feelings for one another. The two eventually marry women but rekindle their relationship over the years. The movie's distributor, Focus Features, said that hours before opening, the theater management "reneged on their licensing agreement," and refused to open the film. Gayle Ruzicka, president of the conservative Utah Eagle Forum, said not showing the film set an example for the people of Utah. "I just think (pulling the show) tells the young people especially that maybe there is something wrong with this show," she said. Mike Thompson, executive director of the gay rights advocacy group Equality Utah, called it disappointing. "It's just a shame that such a beautiful and award-winning film with so much buzz about it is not being made available to a broad Utah audience because of personal bias," he said.

Every day our nation become more like Sodom and Gamorah. We are definately in the end times. Every day I witness things like this I die a little more inside. These days I welcome death and would prefer it to having to watch mankind not only turn their back on God, but effectivly flipping him off.

Guest shiloh357 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I heard a commentator predicting this about the movie: Small audience attendance; many awards. I do believe these awards distributers dont represent the population! Yes, these awards deals have nothing to do with whqt the public likes or does not like. These are awards that the members of the entertainment industry bestow on each other. They judge each other. If they allowed the general populace to decide who gets an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, or whatever, things would be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad to hear that someone is rejecting this as a valid lifestyle, and I pray that other theatre owners will follow the same example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
