Brokeback Western

A lot of people want to say that BBM is not a Western, simply because it is about homosexuals. This is not a reason to just up-and-say that a media does not fit into a genre. That's like saying Family Matters isn't a sitcom because it's about an African American family. Are you offended? You should be. That statement is no more correct than saying BBM is not a Western. They wrangled, fished, loved, faught, and believed... in my opinion that is indeed a Western, no matter the orientation of its characters.
