Before Brokeback Mountain there was... "América". Two gay cowboys (Bruno Gagliasso and Erom Cordeiro) falling in love with each other, in spite of conservative mother, jealous girlfriend and society. Originally aired in Brazil in 2005, by TV Globo, the telenovela focused on illegal immigrants in the United States. It became one of the first long-running Brazilian telenovelas to have a storyline between two gay characters including a scene in which they share a kiss. The kissing scene was scheduled to be aired in the final episode, which created much anticipation from the gay community in Brazil. Although already filmed, Globo, the parent company, elected not to run the kissing scene, much to the surprise of the writers, fans and actors involved. The event led to a number of protests for equal rights, condemning Globo for the attitude.
