> \[A\] little online surfing shows how excited advocacy groups and gay movie goers are about \[*Brokeback Mountain*\]. It's reaching screens amid a flurry of other mostly smaller gay films with prominent names attached, which has caused some industry wags to proclaim 2005 the "Year of the Gay in Hollywood."

> Friday saw the Houston premiere of *The Dying Gaul*, a psychological thriller starring Peter Saarsgard as a grief-stricken gay screenwriter who is seduced by Hollywood. The Friday after *Mountain* opens, two other gay-themed films arrive here -- *TransAmerica*, in which Felicity Huffman plays a man who wants to become a woman, and *Breakfast on Pluto*, the most accomplished of the three, about a transvestite embroiled in Irish terrorism in the 1970s.

> These come on the heels of *Rent*; *Capote*; *Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang*; *Heights and Happy Endings*, all films with prominent gay characters or themes.
