Funny, I dont remember a mainstream movie recently that had a plot such as this. Making Love was more than 20 years ago and it did not have big name actors and there was a disclaimer before it. It's another step forward for films of this kind.
Pricilla is about drag queens and has nowhere the emotional impact that this does.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Gay cowboy romance "Brokeback Mountain" won three of the top four awards from the New York Film Critics Circle on Monday, gaining momentum as a critics' favorite for the Oscars.
The awards are among the second-tier prizes leading up to the March 5 Academy Awards.
Director Ang Lee's film is shaping up to be an Oscar contender despite concerns that its plot -- the relationship between two cowboys in Wyoming -- may offend conservative audiences.
The New York Film Critics Circle gave the movie awards for best film, best director and best actor, for Heath Ledger.
