Brokenhearted Brokeback Backers

Some insiders had warned Brokeback supporters that a climate of “secret homophobia” among academy members might ruin the film’s chances.

Good grief. Secret homophobia in Hollywood? Look at the nominations for Brokeback Mountain, Capote and Transamerica...secret homophobia? Really?

Well given the conspiracy against homosexuals in Hollywood, this was entirely predictable.

"I think that's an absolute horror," said Brad Bruner, who is a leader in the Golden State Gay Rodeo Association. "It's an outright sign of homophobia in our country. ('Crash') won no awards before this. It makes me sick."

If someone in a 'protected' class is denied anything, it's clearly because of bigotry or fear. Right? Not because some other arbitrary choices of a large group of voters. For crying out loud this is the same group who honored Marisa Tomei as the best actress for 1992's My Cousin Vinny.
