^ agree on all the gown comments of Snowflake ... with the added that Kiera Knightly's classic and simply white choice was elegant, and I loved it (but, then again, I'd drool over her in a burlap sack).

Requirements of being Gay: Alex, one does not have to go after a myriad of boy partners to qualify as gay. Tecnically speaking, Ennis is bisexual, as he had both a wife and, later, a girlfriend with whom he had sex. What the movie barely hinted at, but the story craftily revealed, is that Ennis's preferred style of sexual intercourse might best be relayed through the classic Newleywed Game interchange:

Bob Eubanks: Wives, what is the strangest place your husband likes to make whoopee?

Wife No. 1: Um, that'd be in the butt, Bob.

Ennis is clearly trying to make it work with girls, but fails miserably. He likes to simulate gay-style sex even with his wife (though, of course, buttsex is not strictly homo), and the script implies that his tryst with Jack on Brokeback Mountain is his first sexual experience.

And though he has indeed fathered two children, the script also implies that sex between he and his wife dried up after that. The script flatout says outright that Jack is having sex quite regularly with his wife ... and though he was not the aggressor, he seemed to enjoy Lureen's advances and his initial tuck and roll in the backseat with her.

So, my analysis remains:
Ennis - 95% gay, 5% bi
Jack - 72% gay, 28% bi

Ennis - kinda hot despite the mumbling
Jack - ultra hot in large part because of the cow eyes
