no to be honest I am flaking out, around the time that Braveheart came out I read a good number of articles about his movies and gay representation of them. That was followed by listening to his views on women's rights, other religions, etc. Damned if I could find the article though so frankly wasn't trying all that hard to find it but picking off what I could remember off my head.
The difference was in Braveheart he was killed primarly because of being gay rather than as a result of a war. Anyway, watch the The Celluloid Closet to get a better idea of the history of the potrayal of gays and lesbians in Hollywood. If nothing else it is an interesting watch and perhaps might explain why some people get touchy.
