So brokeback

This may be a little hard to read. But the punchline is that the word "brokeback" is now slang for anything of questionable masculinity. Man bags, for example.

I'm hoping this bit of slang won't be the longest-lasting contribution to society made by "Brokeback Mountain." I'm hoping the contribution will be the idea that you don't really have control over who you love -- be it someone of a different gender, religion, race or class. Repressing those feelings can lead to heartache. Rejection of people who act on those feelings can lead to violence. And the world can do with less heartache and violence.
