- Title
The Hate Crime.
- Authors
Gorton, Don
- Abstract
The essay discusses the motion picture "Brokeback Mountain". The ambiguity concerning Jack's death in the film and the gay-bashing incident that stayed in Ennis' memory suggest they were both victims of a hate crime. The movie's pathos appealed to both gay and straight communities, offering moral lessons about rural America and external and internalized homophobia. The idea is presented that hate crime, terrorist acts, and gay bashing of GLBT people are similar and produce long-term psychological damage.
