Don't ask, don't show

I'm probably way behind things here, but I just heard last night that military base theaters are not going to be showing Brokeback Mountain.

Damn!

I can't say I'm surprised. I had wondered if they would be so worried that showing this film will either a) turn their oh-so-het servicemembers gay...because that's what happens, dontcha know or b) cause a flood of servicemembers to break 'don't ask, don't tell.'

I guess I'll have to check the schedule and see if it's going to be shown at Luxembourg.

One high spot in this...there'll be no wank on the Stars and Stripes letters page from people whose homophobic sensibilities were so offended that they were traumatized or something. (And yes, the S&S letter page is incredibly wanky. The recent spooge over military chaplains was worthy of F_W, if it was, you know, a fandom).

Hmmm...wonder if they'll sell the DVD when it comes out?

ETA: Nope, not on at Lux. Must remember to check their schedule.
