To me homoerotocism relates to something where any reference to homosexuality is under- or unstated, or even unintended. That cannot quite be said of Brokeback Mountain.

There's an amazing British film called Victim from the early 60s. Pre-decriminalisation, the plot is all about blackmailers targeting gay men in London. Starred Dirk Bogarde and almost ended his career.

The documentary "The Celluloid Closet" covers this very well.
