When talking about Queer Theory I thought about Broke Back Mountain and how it helped change the ways that society see homosexuals. The common stereotypes of a gay male were not shown at all. In fact it went against the common stereotypes. These were two men who were ranch hands, cowboys that lived in the west out in Wyoming. The love that these two men have for each other gives the classic “trapped in the closet” position because they are two men in the 60’s and living in a place where it was frowned upon. How ever one drunken move by Jake Gyllenhall on Head Ledger gives way to everything unfolding. It goes against most stereotypes of homosexual men to this point.
