• Why didn't Jack move to San Francisco or New York? It was the '60s, on the dawn of the Gay Rights movement, he should have figured out that not everywhere was Homophobic, especially not as homophobic as rural Wyoming or Texas.

  • It would have been much more difficult to see Ennis because of the distance, even if they only met up infrequently.
