Salt Lake City -- A movie theatre owned by the NBA's Utah Jazz owner Larry Miller, abruptly changed its screening plans and decided not to show the film Brokeback Mountain.
The film was supposed to open Friday in a suburb of Salt Lake City. Instead it was pulled from the schedule.
A message posted at the ticket window read: "There has been a change in booking and we will not be showing Brokeback Mountain. We apologize for any inconvenience."
Gayle Ruzicka, president of the conservative Utah Eagle Forum, said not showing the film set an example for the people of Utah.

"I just think [pulling the show] tells the young people especially that maybe there is something wrong with this show," she said. AP
The life of two gay guys. Mainly how because gays weren't excepted (its from 1963 to the 80's) the guys' lives are miserable since they have to hide it and meet a few times a year on... Brokeback Mountain.
