same sex sexuality in poetry?

[kath3]

Whether the topic be put out there through film, song, book, art or poetry ... either you are an open minded person or not, and will determine acceptance/rejection in any form. While most men and women can handle watching two females get it on, two males is still very distressing to heteros. I consider myself to be an open minded and a very tolerant person, but I too squirm at the sight of two males romancing ... I have to put effort in at getting past my ignorance, maybe it's because socially it's more accepting of lesbians ... the so-called weaker sex, while males are to be strong, the protector and provider to the weaker sex (just a thought).
As for Broke Back Mountain ... what an amazingly and moving film. It captures the love, hate and complications of a gay relationship in such an astonishing and real way. I think all who struggle with homosexuality should watch it as it can't help but to soften homophobes.
I too very much enjoyed reading Dirty Weekend ... you amaze me Jack!
