Rogen has acknowledged that the anti-gay language ed his teen edy would be appropriate today * superbad kinda gay *

That's kda Gay but I n get for you. Get our ee weekly email for all the latt cematic news om our film cric Clarisse LoughreyGet our The Life Cematic email for eeSeth Rogen has admted that were he to make teen edy Superbad 2016, s “blatantly homophobic” jok would be actor-edian began wrg the 2007 film aged jt 13 but now realis that “glamourised” the anti-gay language sually ed by high school kids.

A page for scribg WMG: Superbad. Seth is half of all his dialogue is "Have I Mentned I Am Heterosexual Today?" and is sanely jealo when … * superbad kinda gay *

”Rogen, 34, named Superbad as his most ntroversial edy, notg that although the homophobic jok are livered by high schoolers, they were “to some gree glamourisg that type of language a lot of ways”. Not only that, but his behavr is never really fed by the filmmakers as gay, or at the very least, as the behavr of a teen who is qutng his while queer viewers might read Seth as gay or nfed, the rt of the dience will likely not.

Bee of this, Superbad remds me of one of those films the pre-Stonewall era where the gayns was strongly suggted but never talked strangely enough, that may be a good thg. Even though we live the post-Brokeback Mounta age, 's still hard for a gay film to get mastream distributn. Superbad's dancg around the queer issue at least ensur the film gets seen by the mastream, whereas if Seth were actually gay, Superbad would probably be playg ltle art ho or his role would be signifintly smaller.
