A Vermont group has started a move to have one of the state's mountain's renamed in honor of Brokeback Mountain.

"Our attempt to name one of our Mountains after Brokeback is not an attempt to become the Brokeback Mountain from the movie. It is not an attempt to suggest that our Mountain here in Vermont could even resemble or carry the memories that the movie created. Our goal is simply to dedicate our mountain as a eternal tribute to a movie that changed so many lives for the better," the group says on its We site brokebackmountainvermont.

The group says it is looking for an as yet unnamed mountain in the state.

The Vermont board of libraries is the state agency that names roads and geographic locations. A mountain can be named or renamed using a petition by not less than twenty-five interested persons or by petition of an administrative department of the state.

1. I think they oughta get Wyoming to do it, myself

Seeing as that is where the story takes place in the film. But I guess that's probably a bit of a challenge, politically speaking, for that state at this point in time.
