Claiming that she was inflicted with emotional trauma, a 12 year old girl and her family are sueing for $400,000 in damages after a classroom screening of the pro-gay movie, Brokeback Mountain. The claim also cites negligence, false imprisonment and the claim that this emotional trauma was intentionally inflicted.

The family of a schoolgirl from Chicago is sueing the city's Board of Education for negligence, false imprisonment and intentional infliction of emotional distress – after the girl's class was shown the film Brokeback Mountain... universally labelled 'the gay cowboy movie'.
