Brokeback Bandwagon

Gay cowboys are totally having the best week ever!

OK, so the whole Brokeback Mountain thing has been beaten to death, but now Willie Nelson is singing about man-love on the western trail:

With lyrics like "What did you think all them saddles and boots was about?" the song may raise the hackles of those who see cowboys as the iconic American heterosexual male.

"The song's been in the closet for 20 years," Nelson said in a statement. "The timing's right for it to come out."

If I have half the respect for Willie that I once did, do I have twice or 1/4 the respect for his midget impersonator?

The song, “Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly (Fond of Each Other)”, will be featured on Nelson’s upcoming album, Stuff I’ve Always Liked and in no way am Supporting Now Because Catering to Popular Trends May Help me get the IRS Off my Back. Also, Pot is Super Expensive Nowadays. Other tracks include “Sweet, Sweet So Doku,” “Desperate for a Housewife,” and “Don’t Let Your Babies Grow up to Live in Big Momma’s House 2”.

In other news, The New Jersey Supreme Court is still split on whether to allow homosexuals to legally marry …no word yet on whether gay cowboys are eligible for an exemption.
