Many men, both straight and gay, have shown the strength to overcome the societal expectations of how they should dress, and the world is probably a lot better for it.

I myself would have had a closet full of custom Roy Rogers and Gene Autry cowboy duds and boots most of my life but do not. These two masculine, heterosexual men ,among others, wore slender and fancy menswear/ cowboy wear that has been wrongfully corrupted by the liberal media into anything but the original " good-guy macho-style " ! This is blantant biased bigotry against normal menswear and the fashion industry goes along with this injustice for the last 55 years. Females, both hetero- and homo-sexual have total fashion freedom in both logically in traditionally womenswear and illogically, traditional menswear ! Such fashion carte blanche females have in Western societies contrasted with men with almost zero freedom. Males can't get out of the basement never mind hitting the " fashion freedom " glass ceiling ! That doesn't included cross-dressing into traditional feminine wear.

Actually, the whole reason I checked out the museum and this exhibit was the fact that they just added the shirts from Brokeback in the display. Although the museum isn't particularly queer focused, they have certainly embraced this part of western history more than one might expect. They have even started a panel series, with the first one focussing on the impact of Brokeback on the genre of westerns (see this post for details: http://thenewgay.net/2009/12/outwest-what-ever-happened-to-ennis-del-mar.html) Thanks for the comment, Andrew!

I'm assuming there was no mention of broke back mountain in this exhibit. Maybe a little too controversial still!
