Hi Everyone,
I first found this site over a year ago, after I'd been to see Brokeback Mountain and just couldn't get it out of my mind.
I'd gone with my son, who is gay and we both thought that it was the most beautiful film ever. In my (for want of a better word ) grief, I desperately searched around the internet and found this site, not realising there was a forum attached.
 I'd never been on a forum before and didn't know how to go about it. Nevertheless, I kept being directed over to IHJ, which is where I've been for over a year (as I'm absolutely besotted with Jake) and joined their forum, which is great!! but there are an awful lot of youngsters over there and they make me feel quite old. Don't get me wrong, they're very sweet kids, and it's a lovely friendly site, but I hope you don't mind if I hang with you guys as well.  :)

Sorry, I should have said,
My name is Dot

Welcome, Dot! This place definitely attracts people who have racked up some life experience. There is something for everyone, and if you need a Jake fix there is always the Jake's Eyelashes thread. There are actually two Jake threads -- in the other one people actually write multiple paragraphs and rarely post photos, if you can believe it.  :D

Hi Dot!!
Of course you can hang around here. There are a few Jake threads here if ever you need a fix!!! And a Heath one also.
Check out the Site Plan in the news box and see all the stuff you can do here.

One of my favorites is "How Brokeback Affected Me" were we can poor our hearts out...

There are no more beans, but the whiskey spring is still flowing ;D

I’m sad to say that I never got to see Brokeback Mountain in the theaters, unfortunately at that time, my life (or job and lack of life) kept me entirely too busy and stressed to pay much attention to the movies.  So, a long story short, I just finally watched the movie and was absolutely blown away by it.  I honestly can say that I cannot recall having ever watched a movie and felt so moved by it.  I immediately had to watch it a second time, then go the library and read the story from which it was based.  And now here I am on these forums.

I’ve been “lurking” for about a day now, and everyone here seems so nice and wonderful and passionate, I had to sign up.  I’m thrilled to see so many other people who were so moved as I was by this film.

Hiya Kiska and welcome to the asylum  ;D  You've lurked so you know we don't bite  ;)  I hope you fine time to pop into the Diner (see the meet your neighbours section) for a coffee of whatever you'd like.  It's relaxed and there's nearly always someone there to chat to, you'll be very welcome.

Nax.

Kiska,

So nice when we hear that there are new folks being affected by our movie as we were when we first experienced it...

It wasn't long ago that folks were discussing how our feelings have slowly changed in the nearly year and a half we've had Brokeback dwelling in our souls... how we both miss the anguish we felt at the beginning and yet are thankful for the personal growth acheived because of it.

Please check out the "How Brokeback Mountain Affected Me" thread. You'll see what I mean...

Welcome, Kiska, you're in great company!
Rob

Old Brokeback got me good...
