Brokeback Mountain (spoiler questions inside)

[*TT*]

I saw Brokeback last night, it was hands down the best movie I saw in the past year. I have a few questions which remains unanswered, I'd like OOT's help in asnwering them for me.

1) Did either guys know they were gay prior to arriving on Brokeback Mountain? The opening scene makes me think that both may have had latent homosexual feelings that they were not capable of expressing

2) Did Jack's father have him killed? Did his wife know he was murdered when she was on the phone?

3) Anyone know where I can get a copy of the original short story? Did Ang Lee option the film, or was he selected to direct it?

Thanks in advance...
