Hmmm.

Aren't they sheepherders? If there aren't any cows, then they aren't cowboys.

Honestly the whole "it's about gay people so it's so great" is frankly boring the crap out of me.

There was a country song a few years back by I-don't-remember-who (Chris LeDoux maybe?) that I could've sworn started,

"Hey cowboy, get offa that cow..."

Later I discovered that last word was "couch," but for a while there I didn't know what to think.

Now that "Big & Rich" is a popular country act, I wouldn't be surprised to hear a song that really did include that lyric.

Regardless of the gender orientation the basic plot of this flick is one that goes over big in Hollyweird: It is better to put your selfish desires ahead of your obligations to others.

These two creeps go off, start families, have kids, then abandon those kids to find true happiness with each other. Whether you are talking about a guy and a gal doing this or two guys doing this, I find that behavior disgusting. It's just wrong.

24Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

26Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

28Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 29They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
