Abstract
ABSTRACT This essay explores the reception of Brokeback Mountain by film critics, gay viewers, female audiences, television shows, and the blogosphere. By tracing the path of controversies, jokes, and anxieties, this essay argues that hysteria came into play to mask homophobia while, in the gay community, debates etched the limits of contemporary identity politics.
