Western Version of Brokeback Mountain

I had to share this headline from the frontpage of the Sunday paper this week. There is big debate over a proposition on the November ballot, about blocking same-sex marriage and outlawing alternative legal recognition for gay couples and taking their health care and other benefits away from their partners.
These men had some comments on the issue. So did the pastor on the left. The pastor supports the bill, the men obviously object.

I won't argue the point either way, but i thought the image resembled visions of Brokeback Mountain, the later years. Rough looking men from the West, not necessarily cowboys on a sheep drive, but they just looked out of place for this article.
