The adventures of Dan, frontier homosexual

Dan was a rugged handsome man who happened to be gay and who lived on the frontier. He was in a monogamous relationship with Ben:
Both men loved one another very much and they built a nice homestead out on the frontier. They did manly things on their homestead such as train horses, grow crops, hunt, fish, and chop wood.
Neither man was swishy, limp wristed, or a pedophile. They were just normal men who loved one another and who wanted to build a life together out on the frontier. They lived on the frontier because they wanted to be away from intolerant small minded people who hated gays just because they were gay.

One day word got out that a new family was moving in next door to Dan and Ben, so both men rode off to meet their new neighbors.
"Hello new neighbors!," said Dan. "What brings you all the way out to the frontier to live?"

The man in the wagon said, "Hello yourself! We moved out here to avoid persecution. You see we're Mormons and we want a place to live where no one will persecute us for our religion."

Dan smiled and said, "Sounds good to me. We moved out here to avoid persecution too."

The Mormon man said, "Oh really? Are you two handsome men Mormons as well?"

"No, we're gay," said Ben.
As quick as a wink the Mormon man's expression changed from one of friendliness to one of hatred. His wife gasped and pulled her son close to her bosom in the wagon. "You two are fags? You know God hates fags, right? You know our book of holy stories says we have to hate you right?"

"Hang on," said Dan. "How about you get to know us first? See what kind of people we are and then make up your minds."
"Sorry queer, no can do," said the Mormon. "Our holy book says we have to hate you because you think and act differently than we'd like you to. We can't live around here with the likes of you, so we're going to run you off the homestead you've so lovingly built. Billy, jump down and start destroying all that fag built crap."

"Yee haw," shouted Billy.
Billy then cut a tree down and made it fall on a sick horse that Dan and Ben had been trying to heal. "That'll show you homos that God means it when he says you two are an abomination unto him."

Billy's mom tossed a stick of dynamite in Dan and Ben's cabin.
"Nice house fags," she said after it was reduced to rubble.

"Good job honey buns!," said her husband as he stomped on Dan and Ben's feet.

Billy ran towards the horse corral and he said, "I'm going to run off these horses those Sodomites worked so hard to break and train! Hell yeah, that's what Jesus would do!"
But Billy got his hand caught in the reins of one of the horses and he began to be dragged along the ground behind the stampeding horses. He shouted, "Holy shit, I'm gonna die! Somebody help me! Somebody, anybody, except those damn fags that is!"
Ben didn't care what Billy said, he saw a person in trouble and he leaped into action. He quickly lassoed the horse that was dragging Billy and he made it stop. He then cut Billy free and he bandaged his hurt arm.

Billy said, "Pa, maybe these pillow biters ain't so bad after all. Maybe we could learn to be tolerant and live side by side with them. Maybe, just maybe, God don't really want us to hate them, maybe he wants us to be friends with them."

Dan and Ben smiled and they patted Billy on the head. Dan turned to Billy's father and said, "How about it? Your son has a point. We'll forgive you for the destruction and we'll work and live side by side as we try to tame this wild land together. How about it?" Then both he and Ben stuck their hands out so they could shake on their friendship with Billy's dad.

Billy's dad took out his pistol and he shot and killed both Dan and Ben. He said as they died, "That's the last kid you'll ever molest you gay bastards! Now go back to hell where you came from!" Billy's mom said, "Hey look, that cloud looks like the beard of Jesus. It's a sign that we did the right thing!" They were so happy that the gays were dead and that they were going to get all their land and livestock that they invited other Mormons over to celebrate with them.
They had a huge party. During the party Billy said, "Some day it'll be a crime to kill fags." That made his father laugh. "Yeah right Billy," his dad said, "And some day we'll have a black President too! Haw, haw, haw."
Soon everyone joined in the laughter and the fun. The danced and and laughed and ate and enjoyed themselves thoroughly. And as the party broke up Billy's dad reminded everyone to give a case of firewater and a blanket that was infected with small pox to an Indian family.

And the Mormons lived happily ever after.

The end.

Darn I was hoping the gay cowboys would have shot the Mormons.

The best fiction sometimes has all too much truth behind it.

Another brilliant morality tale from the same people who brought you "Civil War Rebel Yellers"

It's interesting that the bigots who're always blabbing their foul lies that they're doing what Jesus would do, are exactly the ones who would make him puke.

Well done, Monkey!

Is this the original ending to Brokeback Mountain? I don't like this one any more than I liked the one they used for the movie.
