Brokeback Mountain in the Heart

It's been a long time since I watched this film, but I always think of something Li Ang said: "Everyone has a Brokeback Mountain in their heart."
For some reason, the term "broken back" has been equated with homosexuality since this movie. So some people think that Ang Lee's words mean that everyone has a bit of homosexuality in their hearts.
But when watching this movie, I didn't pay much attention to homosexuality. Instead, what I saw was a dream in someone's heart that could never be fulfilled.
In the United States in the 1960s, where the story is told, homosexuality is something that is not accepted by the world. Therefore, Brokeback Mountain has become a peach blossom for the two protagonists. Only there can they do what they want to do freely. Even if it is only once a year, it is enough!
However, in the real world, under the influence of various subjective and objective factors, what people want to do but cannot do is more than homosexuality?
Perhaps, everyone really has such a Brokeback Mountain in their hearts, but it is a pity that it may not be as beautiful as in the movie...
I wonder if people who have watched this movie have the same feelings as me?

    Very good movie. With the right soundtrack, picturesque scenery, and outstanding performance (Heath Ledger is too talented), the film tells a story about the joys and sorrows of love, the choice between responsibility and freedom, and the hope and passion for Zeng. The story of the insatiable pursuit of past and passing youth. This film is definitely not only the same-sex content, the sadness, strength, confusion and resistance of the women who fall in love with the two protagonists are no less than the male protagonist! Yes

    [SAME Screening] In fact, this is not a gay story, but a story of two lonely people who go from sex to love in a lonely environment, but they are not accepted by the society and have to continue a long 20-year extramarital affair. Brokeback Mountain is a place, a memory, an emotion, and people who are deeply involved in it can reminisce and pursue it for the rest of their lives. The lines, the music, and the performance are all impressive. The two male protagonists are deeply emotional, and the attitude of the female supporting roles is also intriguing
