We still love the gay romance that featured Miss Co Pe and Tori Spellg! * trick gay film *

Bis, what msage would send to "support" a gay film like "Trick"?

For the rerd: "Trick" is the most appealg and most erotic gay date movie ever ma. Siar, but far superr to "Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss," which preemed Sundance last year, Jim Fall's lightfully charmg film belongs to a new cycle ('s premature to ll a genre) of gay movi that are not about AIDS or social issu, but "simply" al wh suatns, such as datg and first love, relevant to everybody, regardls of sexual orientatn. * trick gay film *

The msage, I suppose, would be that gays should have romantic edi jt as dim and dumb as the straight versns--although I nnot offhand remember many recent straight films this wls. Disnsolate, Gabriel drifts to a gay bar, where his gro thms at the sight of Mark (John Pl Poc), a go-go boy whose nickname is not "Beer Can" bee of his drkg habs. It was also the year one gay film beme a timels classic.

Related | Sequel to 1999 Gay Rom-Com Trick the WorksGay media recently went to a enzy when Fall announced that a sequel to the beloved gay classic is the works, jt time for the origal film's 20th anniversary.

It was a rnn for the ag and the dawn of a new era as one generatn of gay film meets the new. Not really kids, but you know what I was like makg a gay movie 1999 wh an actual happy endg? So, I wanted to tell a simple human story where beg gay wasn't really the pot.

It's lt at first sight when Gabriel (Christian Campbell), a songwrer wh Broadway ambns, ns to Mark (John Pl Poc), a hot go-go dancer at a lol gay club. They head to Gabriel's place to seal the al, but are thwarted when Gabriel's roommate Rich (Brad Beyer) arriv wh opposg plans for their closet-sized apartment. It's the first of many sexual obstctns a wild night that leav the pair physilly unsatisfied, but velopg an unforeen romantic bond neverthels. * trick gay film *

So, that is the do you thk this one will translate to a new generatn wh all the gay apps and the general growg acceptance of this era?
