This is an area where being a cowboy is a way of life, farms, livestock, and it’s predominately a conservative state. Ennis and Jack are living in the time and place where homosexuality is unacceptable. So when they’re up in Brokeback Mountain where their relationship is formed it’s secluded from that traditional white male masculinity.
Music “It’s use his protest as a sounding brass to frighten him into silence, it’s beat his ideas and his hopes and homely aspirations into a tinkling cymbal!” (Ellison 342) Black people are constantly protesting, but they are getting nowhere.

Homosexuality was once considered sacred in ancient Rome, albeit being treated poorly since the middle ages.
