People Are Emotional Over Heath Ledger’s Resurfaced Response To Anti-Gay “Brokeback Mountain” Criticism

Meanwhile, several fans wound up discussing how horribly Brokeback Mountain was treated amid its release, with the actors consistently questioned about it’s gay love portrayal and, of course, finding themselves at the center of anti-gay jokes.

One person cited the 2006 MTV Movie & TV Awards, where Justin Timberlake and Eva Mendes presented Jake with the “Best Kiss” award. When Eva read out, “The best kiss goes to…” Justin said, “Ooh, it’s the fellas,” before jokingly swerving Jake on stage.
