BURLQUE IS SO GAY. AND THAT’S A GOOD THG.
Baloney follows San Francis’s wildly popular Gay All-Male Burlque show over 18 months as the group rehears for New Year's Eve 2020. Told through the ey of the group's -founrs, as well as the larger ensemble, the film ntemplat the stggl that e wh beg a performg artist San Francis, the most expensive cy… * is sean gay in burlesque *

Face , you're gay and you're gog.
Perhaps a nod to the film's evable gay dience, Cam Gigant (who looks like Queer as Folk's Peter Paige) remov more cloth than any of the girls do. Wh their judgment uncloud by the gays' diva worship, straight guys are gonna give to you, well, straight, and judge the stars on their actual sex appeal. There's one scene which Cher giv Christa some motherly makp tips that will make gays and drag queens alike asm.
