Maybe some of us don't see a need to distinguish these titles from any other titles involving romance. Whether it is a man and woman, two men or two women... romance is romance.

I still think custom genres is the best solution for such a thing.

Exactly my point of view as well. Whether you happen to be gay/heterosexual, black/white, green/red...romance is romance, action is action...etc, etc.

It's one of the ugliest aspects of our society...segregating us into classes, races and genders. It pits one against the other and will lead to the destruction of all.

If we are going to add a genre for Brokeback Mountain how about Overrated.

It would give me a way to categorize Cold Mountain as well.
Bad movie?  You're soaking in it!

Now that i look i don't have any titles with Mountain in the title.

And i wasn't too fond of The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill and Came Down a Mountain either.

I just have a GLBT tag.  I have 66 profiles tagged that way. 

I suppose custom genres would work as well, but I really don't see them as a separate genre.  Ultimately Brokeback Mountain is a romantic drama set in the west.  Therefore Drama/Romance/Western in my db.
If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

Well said Pete.

There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

Glad I read to the bottom of the page as you said it better, and nicer, than what was in my head.

I agree. I must admit though that I laughed when my better half misheard the movie's name first time as a "Probeback Mountain"

Agreed! I want a good story.  That's all.  I don't care if it's a spy, housewife, general or gay person.  If it's good, I'll watch.  If it's not, I don't care.

I guess that's why I really don't care all that much about genres.

Yea, I feel much the same way you do.  Genre changes are one of the few areas that I accept blindly.
