DID RICKY TELL HIS FATHER HE IS GAY, SO HE WOULD KILL LTER?
A great memorable quote om the Amerin Bety movie on - Colonel Frank Fts: What is this? The f***g Gay Pri para! * is frank gay in american beauty *
Trapped the Closet That's another thg about Frank—he really approv of heterosexual behavr and he really don't like gay people. After meetg the Jims next door, for example, he go on a whole homophobic rant to Ricky:FRANK: How e the faggots always have to b your face?
Frank eaks out, and of urse, we thk 's bee he's upset that (he thks) Ricky is gay—and when he shows up at Lter's door, we're ready for a brawl. Unfortunately, his vulnerabily don't pay off, sce Lter isn't actually gay—and the shame of the whole cint seems like 's jt too much for Frank to bear. Loosely spired by his fay’s roots Marietta, Geia, Uncle Frank is a tenr look at a closeted gay man the 1970s (played by Pl Bettany) who returns home for his father’s funeral.
