From the "broken clock is right twice a day" Department

GLAAD issues a call to action in respect to Gene Shalit's bizarre homophobic review of Brokeback Mountain.

You don't have to like it, Gene, but in what universe would Jack Twist be considered a "sexual predator who hunts down Ennis del Mar?" At least judge it by what actually is onscreen and by what is said.

Update: Peter Shalit, Gene's openly gay son, issues a response. Reading it, I don't think Peter quite grasps why there was a call to action, because he doesn't really address the issue of terminology.

OMG. That's so ... creepy. His view is what makes my skin crawl. Anyway, just called. Thanks for the heads up!

I thought his comment was a bit uncalled for.

In total agreement........and he needs to tell his Dad to cut his hair!

He's a gay son after all!
