CO-WRTEN BY AND STARRG EDIAN BILLY EICHNER, BROS IS CERTALY AWARE THAT ’S TAKG SOME BIG STEPS TO THE MASTREAM AND IS GNIZANT OF THE ATTENDANT RPONSIBILY OF THAT. BUT THE FILM DON’T LET SELF BE HAMPERED BY S ACPLISHMENT. INSTEAD, BROS LEANS TO THE GIDDY LTLE REVOLUTN OF S OWN EXISTENCE, VG THE DIENCE TO A GOOD, GAY TIME THAT HASN’T EXACTLY HAPPENED, THIS WAY, BEFORE. OF URSE, TO MAKE THOSE LEAPS TO THE MULTIPLEX ESYSTEM, SOME PROMIS HAD TO BE MA. STOLLER IS STRAIGHT, UNLIKE ANDREW AHN, WHO DIRECTED THIS SUMMER’S HULU-RELEASED GAY EDY FIRE ISLAND. JUDD APATOW, A PROLIFIC PURVEYOR OF STRAIGHT-BOY EDY FOR OVER TWO S NOW, IS A PRODUCER WHOSE FLUENCE ON THE FILM IS FELT THROUGHOUT. BUT BROS NEVER FEELS LIKE A GAY MOVIE WHOSE MANDATE IS TO BE PALATABLE TO STRAIGHT PEOPLE. THE FILM IS DIRECTLY DIALOGUE WH S OWN MUNY, OR AT LEAST SOME SUBSET OF THAT AMORPHO AND EVER-EXPANDG GROUP. EICHNER PLAYS BOBBY, A POPULAR PODST HOST AND PUBLIC W WHO HAS BEEN GIVEN THE CHANCE OF A LIFETIME: HE’S PART OF A MTEE ASSEMBLED TO SIGN AND PROGRAM THE NATN’S FIRST-EVER LGBTQ+ HISTORY MM. INTY IS AT THE FORE BOBBY’S LIFE, HE’S FASHNED ALL HIS TIC AND VOLUBLE OBSERVATNS ABOUT HIS OWN QUEERNS (AND, LET’S BE HONT, THAT OF OTHERS) TO A PRODIG REER. IN ALL THAT OUTSIZED ASSERTN, BOBBY HAS ISOLATED HIMSELF. (I DON’T THK ’S AN ACCINT THAT HE SHAR A NAME WH THE LONELY NFIRMED BACHELOR OF STEPHEN SONDHEIM’S COMPANY.) HE’S 40 AND SGLE, OUTWARDLY WARY OF MMENT FOR VAGUELY POLIL REASONS—WHY SETTLE DOWN LIKE THE STRAIGHTS?—BUT WARDLY WRACKED WH ANXIETY. HE FIGUR HE’S TOO HAIRY, TOO LOUD, TOO FLAMBOYANT, AND CERTALY NOT BRAWNY ENOUGH TO EXIST AT THE HOT, WHE (CIDLY WHE) CENTER OF NEW YORK CY’S GAY GALAXY. THIS IS A FAIAR NCERN, ONE EXPRSED MYRIAD ARTISTIC FORMS OVER THE YEARS, ALBE MEDIA FAR LS MERCIAL THAN A MAJOR MOTN PICTURE.

THAT TENSN IS MA MANIFT BOBBY’S LIFE WHEN HE MEETS AARON (LE MACFARLANE), JT SUCH A GYM GOD WH A EP VOICE WHO, SOMEHOW, SEEMS TERTED BOBBY. AS BROS RAMBL ALONG, BOBBY AND AARON NEGOTIATE THEIR DIFFERENC, BOTH THE SUPERFICIAL AND THE MORE FOUNDATNAL. AARON ISN’T QUE A PARODY OF MASC-FOR-MASC SELF-LOATHG—BROS IS, ALL S ARCH VERVE, TOO HUMANE A FILM FOR THAT—BUT THERE’S AN UNEASS AT HIS CENTER THAT ULD BE TERPRETED AS NIAL.

Some Bt Gay Anime: Sekaiichi Hatsoi (2011), Lg Qi (2016 – 2018), Hybrid Child (2014 – 2015), Super Lovers (2016 – 2017),... * good gay time *

What worri I might have had about the film Bros, the first stud-released romantic edy about gay men that stars out gay actors, are pretty quickly allayed director Nicholas Stoller’s charmg film. Instead, Bros leans to the giddy ltle revolutn of s own existence, vg the dience to a good, gay time that hasn’t exactly happened, this way, before.

Stoller is straight, unlike Andrew Ahn, who directed this summer’s Hulu-released gay edy Fire Island. He figur he’s too hairy, too loud, too flamboyant, and certaly not brawny enough to exist at the hot, whe (cidly whe) center of New York Cy’s gay galaxy. Bobby, meanwhile, has bee rigid all his supposed big-md unrstandg; he’s so nvced he has figured out the gay fort that he keeps missg s tre.

Aaron is given his fair due, but this is really Bobby’s story, one that seeks to merely regnize and mull over the vagari of gay life rather than solve them. A bevy of wele meos om gay pop-culture ins adds wsome pepper, while Eichner and Macfarlane’s siways chemistry offers plenty to swoon over as they stroll and chat a gracly filmed Manhattan and, for a brief but no doubt expensive jnt, Provcetown.

However, a majory of those stori over the years have featured an abundance of queer pa, often through the e of rejectn and homophobia as the re wounds flicted on LGBTQ+ TV characters.

What uld possibly be more gay than a show about Canadian band Tegan and Sara, based on their liv growg up queer, -created by Clea DuVall?

Starrg TikTok stars and TV newers Railey and Seazynn Gilliland as Tegan and Sara, rpectively, (and quasi-gay in Cobie Smulrs as the tws’ mother), High School’s heartfelt portrayal of teenage girlhood and the lonels that acpani queerns, along wh s stellar directg, mak this seri one to watch. Siarly to Heartstopper, Love, Victor subjects s characters to the heartache of homophobia and the prsur surroundg g out, but those elements never eclipse any characters’ journey, cludg Victor, Benji (Gee Sear), Rahim (Anthony Kayvan), or Lucy (Bebe Wood).

The seri livers a hopeful msage about life and love over the backdrop of high school clich, makg a good, gay time. Throughout s four seasons, Charmed livered queer reprentatn spas, while allowg each of s var LGBTQ characters to live a world ee of homophobia.

In s cut-short seven-season n, the seri saw multiple lbian, bisexual, gay, and asexual characters arrive through the Waverir’s revolvg doors.
