LE MACFARLANE ‘BROS’: THE HOTTT MOVIE STAR OF THE YEAR IS A GAY MAN. FALLY!

The LGBTQ romantic edy stars Eichner and Le Macfarlane as a gay uple navigatg the plited onle datg world, wh a few obstacl — and people — thrown along the way. Universal Pictur proudly prents the first romantic edy om a major stud about two gay men maybe, possibly, probably, stumblg towards love.

Oppos attract, lots of fumblg, New York surroundgs, very awkward dners wh iends and handsome guy's fay where nerdy guy go over the top beg polilly gay.

Given what we’re discsg—the explic sex scen and filthy, flirty dialogue between gay men that happens the new movie Bros— the next words that e out of his mouth are unexpected: “I’ve kissed a lot of women on Hallmark. And I hope that that sort of crossover between gay and straight be easier for for queer actors movg forward.

”Here Macfarlane and I are, talkg about how he beme part of one of Hollywood’s gayt movi to ever h the big screen, and hs me jt how much his succs means. And means jt lettg an actor be an is remarkable about Bros—and remarkable still feels silly to say—is that there is gay sex . ”Those gay men don’t have to take a tra to New York Cy’s Wt Village to see this scene, or the movie, at the one pennt cema where Bros is playg.

Macfarlane regniz how far he’s e om then, though—as well as how far media has e, terms of offerg gay men like himself somethg to pe serv up way more lectable optns for LGBTQ folks to sk their teeth to than Donahue did. As such, I n only speak as a gay man, who has both celebrated and been entirely pissed off by different exampl of LGBTQ reprentatn mastream culture, gay and of the time, the attempts lean too much to clich about promiscuy.

”Billy Eichner’s Gay Rom-Com ‘Bros’ Is as Hilar as It Is HistoricBut the stg asi, there’s somethg different about Bros, at least om my own experience watchg, I intified more wh the two romantic leads than I ever had wh any rom- character I’ve ever watched my life—and I nsir myself a historian on all matters Ephron-Meyers-Marshall (my Holy Try).

COMMENTARY: THE REAL LSON OF ‘BROS’: IT’S OK TO LET GAY ART BOMB
