  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I grew up in a small ranching town of 2,500 or so. Two gay cowboys is just something that my mind can't comprehend. I'm sure homosexuality has no bias towards cowboys, but dang, couldn't they come up with two gay dentists or something!!
It was a book first: Hollywood just made a movie about a book. AND my husband and I watched a documentary on the issue of alot of cowboys being gay in the 1800's. Kind of weird I must say.

Watching two cowboys make out isn't my cup of tea....

Thats what is so funny, LOL. I also would not spend a penny to see this movie. I think the only reason it got so many nominations was to hopefully get more people to see it. Leaving you with the thought of "Well if it got all those nominations, it must be good" I would never go nor will I rent the dvd.

I may be way off base on this, but I thought I heard that in the original book one of the cowboys ends up either assaulting or sexually assaulting the other. Nice story! Again, this is what I thought I heard.

Yes, it was nominated for several Oscars. It's just another example of liberal Hollywood embracing this crap. I guarantee you if the movie was based on a man and woman, no one would have every heard of it, it would have been nominated for zero awards, much less would it have had screen time at the theatres.

Just my $.02...
I totally agree, if this were touting any kind of a Christian message it would be burried.
