Brokeback Mountain has been banned in a Massachusetts prison for being too sexually explicit.

The film follows the story of two men who fall in love after spending a summer wrangling sheep on a mountain in Wyoming.

Massachusetts Department of Correction official Diane Wiffin explained: "It was not the subject matter. It was the graphic nature of sexually explicit scenes."
