Strange

[gsh]

Strange is having a conversations about gay rights in a foreign country, because the taxi driver has recently seen "The Cowboys" (aka Brokeback Mountain) and wanted me to tell him how realistic the movie was. Unfortuantely I haven't seen the movie, but we got into an interesting discussion about gay rights and gender society expectations between the two countries.

Neat! What's the chilean-taxi-driver-viewpoint?

He was very good at not saying his personal opinion, but he talked about how difficult it was to be gay in Chile unless you were one of the upper class, where apparently he who has the gold makes the rules is pretty much the way things work.
