This is a shameless pimp for a community I don't even run... but which is kind of foundering, and I want it to prosper! ewan_stillness!!! You know you want to. The pictures are beautiful this week. Who wouldn't want to icon the lovely Ewan? So shoo, my lovelies, and participate! Please? :)

I wish I knew how to quit you

Brokeback Mountain is officially on my top three movies to see that are coming up (the others are, obviously, GoF and Serenity). beizy posted the trailer on her journal, I highly recommend you go check it out. It made me cry, seriously. Not all out sob, but more than just tear up. It's so beautiful and heartbreaking. "You know it could be like this... just like this, always." And for some reason it reminds me of Alec/Seregil. Oh my. I hope this canon-gay thing is going to catch on, because oh how I love it. Now, I need to find this novel and read it.

*watches trailer again*

ETA: Yes, I loved the trailer SO much that I've already made icons from screen caps. And making still more. Oh how I love it.

I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.

I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.

I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.

We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.

I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.

I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.

I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.

I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.

We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.

I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.

I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.

I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.

I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.

I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.

I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didn’t have to always deal with society hating me.

I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.

I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.

Repost this if you believe homophobia is wrong.

This is fucking HILARIOUS. A fic, of sorts, with an Ani/Obi persuasion... oh dear, I can't explain it, just go read! *giggles*

I'm sorry, I'm totally spamming all your flists... but no one's online to talk to, and I seem to have a lot of thoughts tonight.

I just finished reading Brokeback Mountain, the short story, and... wow. It was beautiful. I was wondering at first how they would make a short story into a movie, but I realize that the story is very very condensed - one paragraph will describe a whole month, and such. Lots and lots of room to maneuver. But it's a gorgeous story, and I can tell you now, I'm going to SOB during this movie. Absolutely sob my eyes out. I better see it alone, heh. For anyone who wants to read it, you can find it here: Brokeback Mountain. It's definitely worth a read.

One thing I did note is that the two men in the story (Ennis and Jack) were described as rather homely (Jack has buck teeth, for example) and all I can say is that Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhall are, er, anything but homely :P But that's ok with me, lol.

Well, I have to start packing my stuff. I'm leaving this house for good tomorrow, when I go over to my dad's and really pack everything, then spend Thursday night there before driving out on Friday. *neeps* I'm so scared. I also have to finish my summer reading book, blah.
