Would I be right in assuming that apart from a very few, for most of us, Brokies are the only source of support and encouragement when it comes to all things Brokeback. At best, I'm still regarded with mild amusement and no little incredulity by those that know me. If it wasn't for you lot here I'd implode I think.
I think in the early days for me, I did not really tell family and friends what I was going through, and needed to get the love, encouragement and support of the new friends that I had made here...
Following my trip to the states last year, I started to get my RL back on track, and that meant telling a lot of friends, not family (that would be too far for me), and I have received such support and love from them, and many think that I am more settled within myself than they have ever seen...
Not one of them has a bad word to say, and will openly talk about the film and its impact on me...
