IS DEATH RACE A NEW LANDMARK IN GAY FILM?

" (and my undyg love to whoever gets that reference) I was also trigued, bee the star is the ultra hot Jason Statham, and bee there was gog to be a gay character the film, played by Tyre mol/mician/actor has shown very ugly flash of homophobia the past, so to see him playg a gay role is jarrg, to say the least.
