IN FROM THE SI: THE GAY RUGBY DRAMA FLICK COMG TO A SCREEN NEAR YOU

At first seems like the film is about two gay men who have an affair, but there is so much more gog on this highly engagg film grabs your attentn om the start and holds throughout what is actually rather a long film, but didn't feel a sgle moment was wasted. I've never seen a film like this before, where beg a gay man was so well. I thk this film will appeal to a very wi dience and may also show people that gay men e all shap and siz and n't be easily fted to standard stereotyp.

DIRECTOR OF ACCLAIMED GAY GBY FILM IN OM THE SI ON MUD, SWEAT AND ‘IDT’ HOMOPHOB

There’s a new gay movie g to cemas, and this one is a powerful and rnchy drama between two gby players. What at first seems to be a film about two gay men who embark on a relatnship, sps out to a much bigger story about gay men tryg to navigate life and love and iendship.

I thk there are a lot of ‘g out’ and ‘homophobia’ films and I was terted gettg beyond that. Another important topic that the movie taps to is the stereotype of gay men and monogamy. “It don’t e om homophobia or g out, ’s a film about monogamy, adultery, and open relatnships which aren’t explored very much other gay films.

My -wrer, Adam Silver, and I said we didn’t want to make a film like that – there’ll be no g out or homophobia. It don’t e om homophobia or g out, ’s a film about monogamy, adultery and open relatnships which aren’t explored very much other gay films. Why n’t somethg physil be off-lims to gay men?

HUNKY STAR OF GAY GBY MOVIE ‘IN FROM THE SI’ NFIRMS HE IS “NOT STRAIGHT”

It really boils down to a sense of muny and belongg that I feel a lot of gay men haven’t had or don’t get bee we don’t have as many muny spac the morn world anymore. Team sports are somethg a lot of gay men probably didn’t get to experience at school bee wasn’t for them. Do you have any thoughts on Israel Fol, Atralia’s once star gby player whose ntract was termated for tellg “homosexuals” that “Hell awas” them?

Israel Fol posted anti-gay msag on social media. So many lol clubs happen to have a large proportn of gay players which is a ttament to the sport. I’d say to other sports, if you want to miss out on all that talent to hold homophobic ias, you need to set your egos asi.

Joy, celebratn, acceptance – Steelers has a place for everyone (Picture: Amazon Prime)The Kg’s Cross Steelers may not be a team on your radar, whether you’re gay or straight, but few clubs will have ma que the impact of the self-ma gby teamed found a north London pub 25 years ago. The film follows the Steelers as they make the biannual pilgrimage to the Bgham World Cup where, 25 years after the Steelers was formed, a further 60 clubs worldwi followed s lead, and now every two years they e together and battle out – savagely – the biggt gay gby tournament the world.

As turned out, he soon found a new fay – a team of gay men om all walks of LGBTQ+ life wh a shared love, passn, and talent for the sport which many gay men have otherwise been exclud om. The Kgs Cross Steelers attempt to w the gay gby world cup (Picture: Kgs Cross Steeelrs)‘I was lookg around the club and I realised wasn’t jt me who had felt this impact, was every sgle player. I was tryg to work out what was about gay gby that was so special and a benef for all the queer people – mental health benefs om sport and beg able to form a relatnship away om dgs and alhol as well as reclaimg that place on the sportg pch where we’re told we don’t belong.

So often, when gay people are seen on screen, our stori are tragic – ath, disease, margalisatn, abe. Simon is a player who me out as gay his early 30s and Steelers talks ankly about his prsn after sperately supprsg his sexualy, clgg on to hope that wouldn’t matter.

He was more than a gay man, and uld clg onto the rt of him bee surely that would be enough and life, at the very least, would be bearable. Simon didn’t e out until his early 30s and his urage is celebrated Steelers (Picture: Kgs Cross Steelers)Eventually, he told his fay and iends he was gay but was jilted when he told a bt iend, who was straight, he was love wh him.

If they ronate, not only wh gay viewers but all sexuali and genrs, and if people n see hope and see you belong to somethg then the story has much more of an impact than beg a niche gay film.
