How can gay people not feel betrayed by Oscar when so many voters publicly admit that they never even gave "Brokeback" a chance?

But they just couldn't go that last step, just couldn't install such a historic milestone on a financially successful and critically acclaimed film — worthy of Academy Awards for writing and direction — and place it in Oscar's best pic pantheon.
