So yesterday on the Bookmobile, one of our regulars who is in her 70's brings on her daughter. Her daughter is in her low 30's. They are trying to pick out audio books for a trip. The daughter picks up Brokeback Mountain, and suggests it to her mom. She says it's a love story (and I am picking up on the slight sarcasm here.) She says it is a story about all kinds of loving. And emphasizing ALL kinds of loving. I pipe up that it excludes animal loving, because a librarian is supposed to correct patrons when they are wrong.
She goes on further to say that it is a story about a man loving his wife, a man loving his daughter, a man loving a man, and a man loving a woman.
Her mom says "Are the man and woman married?"
They did not check out the item.
