Who we are

THE ULTIMATE BROKEBACK FORUM is the largest discussion site on the web devoted to the historic film, Brokeback Mountain. It has drawn over 5,000 registered users, and 540,000 posts since its inception on Christmas Eve 2005. Originally devoted exclusively to Brokeback, the Forum now features separate areas for Brokeback Mountain topics, Arts & Entertainment (Film, Books, TV & Music in general), Gay-Lesbian-Bisexual-Transgender Issues, Life & Leisure, and many other topics.

THE ULTIMATE BROKEBACK GUIDE offers one of the largest resources of Brokeback links and information on the web. The guide began on Dave Cullen's blog, and attracted such a large and fervent group of readers discussing the film and its impact, that the Guide and Forum were set up as stand-alone sites on Christmas Eve 2005.

A year after the release of Brokeback Mountain, the site still attracts more than 25,000 unique visitors a month, and 50,000-100,000 page views per day. Forum membership is roughly two-thirds male, one-third female. Most of the men are gay, most of the women are not.

Our membership spans the globe, from all walks of life and all sexual orientations. We came together because Brokeback Mountain had a profound emotional impact on us all. It is a great work of art, and an unflinching portrait of love between two men. This site offers a place to discuss how the film affected us, and how it's affecting our culture. It is a place to share personal stories, provide support for each other, and explore a wide range of topics, including arts, entertainment, the realities of gay life today, and prospects for the future.

Dave Cullen, to whom we are grateful for starting it all, is a writer and a journalist. Find out more about him and his current project, the definitive book on Columbine.
