Grossness and Brokeback

The comments at the bottom of this article on Brokeback Mountain have me confused. They are so way over the top that I have a suspicion that they were put their by anti-homsexuals to discredit the gay community. There is nothing at all wrong with what Bill Wundram wrote, and yet he is being flamed for not feeling comfortable with the sight of two guys kissing. The fact is that if you are a straight man then the idea (let alone actually seeing it) Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal kissing is disgusting. If these comments were to betaken seriously you would get the idea that being heterosexual and having heterosexual tastes is something that should be apologized for. The ridiculous sense of outrage at a relatively mild anecdote is almost comical.
