Who broke your heart said to gay people

Is your heart broken? So, not quite as miserable as the boys in The Boys in the Bandbut still kinda miserable. Here we go! My best girlfriend in college was extremely charmed by this. We cut to four guys having coffee and talking about straight guys stuff. You know, sports games, automobiles, drinks that taste gross.

That stuff. All these guys are entirely gay, and this is just a fun game they play: they make heterosexual male noise with their mouths and whoever betrays his gayness first has to pay for all the lattes. Particularly as, I think, a total of two of the actors in this whole movie were actually openly gay.

Anyway: a term used to elegantly segue away from ranting about homophobia as it relates to Hollywood casting decisions in the late 90s which persists to this very day. Someone in this movie should really get Skipper some help! This is only about half of the main characters in this movie!

Jack, who is played by the late definitely-not-out actor John Mahoney, owns the restaurant where everyone works and is constantly trying to get everyone to play softball. Because being identifiably gay is the worst thing you can be in this movie for some reason? The reason is internalized homophobia.

But he likes to have gay sex with him still. And Justin Theroux…loves him for some reason? And now, more vocabulary! An innocent! An ingenue! But tragically, he introduces Kevin to Dean Cain at the party and Dean Cain immediately starts hitting on the wee lad, who is smitten by his handsomeness and muscles.

Dean Cain is the worst! What the fuck is a fairy supposed to do around here in case of emergency? Skipper is also pretty much the worst. And TO loves The Carpenters. Are The Carpenters not sad and gay enough for Billy Porter in this scenario?

The Agony of “Gay” “Cinema”: The Broken Hearts Club

Also, TO is having a very sudden epiphany:. But never mind that because is wee Kevin flirting with Timalyphont??? This kid is all kindsa mixed up, Timberly! Throw him out on the street immediately! We should pause to appreciate the clothes in this movie. Everyone is wearing wide legged painter pants and shiny untucked short sleave button-ups and little necklaces and chunky sandals and boxy sweaters!

Which…actually, is all of this back in style now??? Oh god! Honestly, this one term made me want to stop watching this movie and spend an hour with my therapist, Uzo Aduba.
