NEWS (to me): Brokeback Dove?

Check this out. Did anyone else realize that "Lonesome Dove," arguably the best "western" ever written, was authored by the same man that co-authored the script for "Brokeback Mountain," definitely the gayest "western" ever made? I will never be able to see Woodrow and Gus in the same light.

"Best-known for his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, Lonesome Dove, the 72-year-old
McMurtry remains extraordinarily prolific. He contributes frequently to the New
York Review of Books. His screenplay for Brokeback Mountain, co-written with
Diana Ossana, won an Academy Award in 2006."

From Pulitzer to Poofter? Please Larry McMurtry, say it ain't so...
