The testimony of a self-described conservative Christian who almost-accidentally saw Brokeback Mountain and was changed by it. Originally posted on IMDB with the title “I’m a Conservative Christian and This Film Changed My Mind.”
Ang Lee, in accepting his Golden Globe, noted "the power of movies to change the way we're thinking". I think this testimony will not be the last one we see from former homophobes who began to see beneath the lies they've been taught and the violence that results from those lies.
My thanks to Shakespeare's Sister and my brother Tom for this story.

What an embarrassing omission for Ang Lee. He remembered to thank his wife, but completely snubbed his longtime fishing buddy, Wei-Tung.
And I think Drew Barrymore must be regretting that she agreed to let the Project Runway contestants design her gown. Everything would have been fine had they not been forced to create a dress made entirely from material found on the Christmas clearance rack at Target.
