http://www.bilerico.com/2008/09/breaking_out_a_gay_mormon_comes_out_afte.phpOn 02/06/06 I found The Ultimate Brokeback Forum. The remarkable journey I have been on since is probably the reason I have been invited to write for TBP. We call ourselves "Brokies," and coined the name "Brokeaholic" to describe our affliction.
A tremendous benefit of being on the Forum was that I could start a thread to help me lose weight. The Brokeback Mountain Lovesick Diet. It's not really a diet, just groups of people dedicated to helping each other lose weight and keep it off. Check it out . . . I lost 70 lbs!
To introduce myself, let me quote from our book, Beyond Brokeback . . .The Impact of a Film. (The book came about when sixty of us on the Forum read 50,000 posts and winnowed them down to 4,000 that we thought were good enough for a book. The Editorial Board chose 176 from those to represent the other thousands on the Forum.)
