AUSTIN, TX (8/30/2005)--An explicit short story about two homosexual male cowboys featured as part of the Senior English program at St. Andrew's Episcopal High School in Austin, has caused a furor with parents complaining and some threatening to withhold $3 million dollars to the school, if the Episcopal institution does not pull the book.

The short story used in the English class was Brokeback Mountain by Annie Proulx. It is a pornographic story of two homosexual cowboys that is being made into a major motion picture. The book which is set in Texas and Wyoming features the romantic tale of two male cowboys from very different backgrounds who meet and fall in love while working together as sheep ranch hands near Wyoming's Brokeback Mountain during the summer of 1961. The movie was shot in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and is due to be released in December, 2005.

VirtueOnline received a letter written by one irate contributor Mr. Cary McNair, son of Bob McNair, owner of the Houston Texans, who threatened to withhold a significant amount of money if the school did not pull the book from the classroom. A VirtueOnline source said the amount was in excess of $3 million.
