William Friedk had to cut a legendary 40 mut of footage om “Cisg” before uld get a pass om the MPAA, but that was mostly graphic sexualy and not the non-stop strg of slurs and rtoonish pictns of what the filmmakers tried to emphasize was a look at one subset of gay culture, but not the entire culture.
There's ltle doubt that the hostile reactns om characters the film are perd-appropriate and shouldn't be taken as the POV of the film, but the film's POV on both the leather bar subculture, and on any gay characters who exist outsi the subculture ss somewhere between disgted and horrified.

Judgg the material on s own, is a clear exprsn of a culture that need to make homosexuals “the other, ” as clear an exprsn of hatred as anythg on this list. Gawker did a great mashup of homophobic asis Michael Bay films 2014, cludg an extend “gay panic” scene “Bad Boys II” where Mart Lawrence and Will Smh realize that their nversatn about Lawrence's character beg shot the butt — which sounds like anal sex out of ntext (hilar!
