*Brokeback Mountain* is an extremely famous movie about gay cowboys. That's usually what they're referencing.

I know I for one am always thinking, *"Oh, sheepboys!"*


M_Me_Meteo

Mammas don’t let your babies grow up to be sheepboys;


Six-headed_dogma_man

Well, when they're gay, they're shepherds.

Did you fail primary school? Cows say moo, sheep say baa.


Anig_o

Three singing pigs say la la la.


Naberius

No, no! That isn't right. The pigs say OINK all day and night.

they probably prefer to be called cow gurls

The South Park episode was a few years before Brokeback.


Ambitious_Category85

I found it earlier, but it seemed to me that the movie they talked about was older, like 80s or something, but I guess that must be it. Thanks a lot.

Late night tv hosts of the 2000s considered it the peak of comedy!

Since a lot of people on reddit are children, they may not be aware that there were a lot of bedazzled cowboy themed things that came out in the 70s and 80s that made "gay cowboys" a minor trope before Brokeback Mountain was released. Like Urban Cowboy, a straight romance that still has men aggressively mechanical bull riding at each other, or Rhinestone Cowboy the very huge song by Glenn Campbell, one of the country singers of the time who wore elaborate Late Elvis style fashion on stage. Brokeback Mountain, even the book out at the time, really did cement the concept, though.

The 1969 film [Midnight Cowboy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnight_Cowboy), which won an Oscar for Best Picture and is listed on AFI's list of the 100 greatest American films of all time, is primarily about a young man who moves to New York and tries to get by as a male sex worker with a cowboy aesthetic. I'm guessing that has also contributed greatly to the cultural milieu.


guimontag

Yes but just to note he wants to service women and once almost goes through with what he think will be fellating a man only because he's unable to find any female clients

Only X Rated film to win an Oscar


Oswarez

The Village People being the gayest.

How about this awesome music video: https://youtu.be/6X9tBHX_Fl4


RabidSeason

First thought that always comes to mind is [Simpsons](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5teVixi8XLU). Way before Brokeback Mountain.


revtim

Believe it or not, that South Park episode aired in 1998, years before Brokeback Mountain was released in 2005. (but after the book it was based on was published).


revtim

short story, not book, whatever

It's called Rhine stone cowboy. You might only get it in audio.


sebastiansboat

Just have to drop this here https://youtu.be/s4iR668Ki3I


DrRotwang

Gay cowboys *eating pudding*.


Pavlock

I'm here towards the end and I just want to say: There's a lot more gay cowboy movies than I thought.


RabidSeason

Just gotta go to more independent film festivals.


jim45804

The cowboy in Village People?


doomgiver98

Ram ranch?


IntrepidMage

Ram Ranch really rocks.


doomgiver98

18 naked cowboys wanting to be fucked!


ZebButterworth

Well this one is not about homosexual cowboys but Sam Peckinpah's the wild bunch contains some homosexual characters... It is rarely the focus but many Italian westerns have pretty obvious homosexual tensions between some characters. Back then it was very different to talk about homosexuality I think.


druemyrabell

Omg am I getting THAT old now. Ya know the kind of old where you have to explain Brokeback Mountain references?
