And since it's created so much discussion, here's one clip that is available online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9tt1wULWXs.
Brief synopsis leading up to here: Pete Faget and his pregnant boyfriend, Johnson Joe Jangles, arrive by train at a mysterious town somewhere in the American West. A mysterious businesswoman, also on the train, convinces them to set themselves up in the town, which is wild and lawless--not yet having been admitted to "the Union." Pete and Jangles set up a homestead above a bar, where Pete becomes an exotic dancer of sorts. Jangles goes into labor, and the young boy from the above scene helps Jangles to deliver, claiming to be a doctor. But the baby turns out to be a donkey. Jangles loves the child, but Pete is gravely disappointed, turning away from Jangles and more and more toward alcohol and women. That's what's being dramatized in this scene.
