The song 'Lost the Fire' suggts beg gay is 'a phase.' * weekend gay *
Both Tom Cullen and Chris New are so very natural their performanc as two gay men who hook up a bar one night, spend much of the next morng talkg ep topics, and then ci to meet aga that night. While gay topics are discsed here (and a warng, there are gay "suatns" shown, so if you're homophobic...
Well, I doubt that you'd be seeg this film to beg wh (though what has to say about human sire and that nasty four letter word "love" mak this a worthwhile view spe of beg uched gayns). Whether the viewer is straight, bi, or gay, they will nnect wh the characters some profound way. WE ARE an all-male clothg optnal bed and breakfast retreat terg to gay, bi, and straight men 21 years or olr.
