From Radio Jamaica: "Opposition is mounting to the decision of the Palace Amusement Company to show the controversial movie Brokeback Mountain.
"The movie opened at the Palace Cineplex and Palace Multiplex in Montego Bay, St. James earlier this week after it was given an adult only rating by the local authorities.
"But church groups have been opposed to the movie which explores a homosexual relationship."
Brokeback Mountain has already been banned in the United Arab Emirates, one of the more permissive Muslim countries in West Asia.
