A 'queer' Quest Pistol

no 'straight' thinking for these questions !! ;)
Question 1:






The image A coined a term which images B and C exemplify. D , connected to images C & E also exemplify the same term.

What is D ? Also mention the term being talked about and the entire funda behind the set of these pics .


Answer

Image A is of Romeo and Juliet.The term being talked about is "Star crossed Couple". Quoting Wikipedia,

""Star-crossed" or "star-crossed lovers" is a phrase describing a pair of lovers whose relationship is said to be doomed from the start. The phrase is astrological in origin, stemming from the belief that the positions of the stars ruled over people's fates. To describe a relationship as "star-crossed" is to say that it is "thwarted by a malign star", or that the stars are working against the relationship. The phrase is best known from the play Romeo and Juliet by the Elizabethan playwright William Shakespeare ."

The movies "A Walk To Rememeber" and "Titanic" had couples that were example of star crossed ones.

D is the film Brokeback Mountain,based on the relationship between two men.Its posters were inspired by those of the movie Titanic.Again,the couple shown in the film Brokeback Mountain was an example of a star crossed couple.

E highlights the decriminalization of IPC 377 in a recent judgement of the Delhi HC.Thus D & E are linked
