Pretty sure he is gay.
The way it's worded in the IMDB trivia section makes it seem like it was done to avoid their automatic flagging system for inflammatory or untrue statements, mostly not referring to Mr. Trump by name.TCTTS said:
Ok, I've done some searching myself and can't find mention of it anywhere either. He *definitely* said he didn't want homophobes seeing the movie, in so many words, but I can't find any mention whatsoever of him saying he didn't want Trump supporters seeing the movie. I'm not saying he didn't say it, only that I can't find the actual quote. So yeah, seems somewhat dubious…
I think most are basing on an extremely unlikable star and marketing completely excluding 90% of the population.Ryan the Temp said:
FYI - If you are basing any decision entirely on what you see in the trailers, there are some trailers out containing scenes that are not actually in the film.
The movie's not rated X. You can enjoy a movie despite it not being about something you're interested in. My wife and I are watching Dahmer despite being disgusted by murder.David Wallace said:
Straight men are BORN THIS WAY to be disgusted by gay sex. We are wired from birth to be attracted to women and not attracted to men. Therefore, this movie is NOT for straight men. Simple.

I agree 100%. I just think it's silly to say a movie isn't "for someone" because of the way the way they were born. Not wanting to see it because of personal preference is what we all should and do practice.Sea Speed said:The Porkchop Express said:The movie's not rated X.

Conversely, it is ok to not want to watch this due to the subject matter. People are not bigoted or homophobic for not wanting to watch a gay love story.
I agree fwiw. I thought movie was fun, but was a lot of inside jokes I got as a gay man that I don't think straight friends were.Sea Speed said:The Porkchop Express said:The movie's not rated X.

I'd be curious to read the original quote.
It could be a innocent as something along the lines of "we unapologetically made this movie for LGBTQ+ and if that offends people outside those communities, so be it."

There are straight people on this thread that said it was hilarious.
It's a great movie. Not going to get involved in all the hubbub.
In the closet, nice, I see what you did there!TCTTS said:oragator said:
By the way, side note to my post above, but there are probably roughly 10 million LGBTQ people in the US, which is more than enough to get this movie to profitability and get more of these made. Especially if they bring some of their straight friends to see it. But one of my gay friends told me a few years ago that there is a often a disconnect between the lesbian and gay communities (which really surprised me), wonder if that might be hurting the numbers some.
For the sake of folks like the op, I do hope it finds more fraction, seeing representation is important. And it would ne a shame if this sets that course back for any length of time.
Interesting. I could also see a number of straight people not wanting to or having time to see the "gay" movie in theaters, but watching it when it comes to digital/streaming, especially after all the positive word of mouth. I feel like it could do well at home.

I agree with him fwiw and I expect most atheists and even some Christians would agree. Practice your religion all you want, I don't need it pressed in my life via govt action or other avenues.

Haven't heard of this movie until this thread.
Get on IMDb and find this lovely comment
Co-writer and star Billy Eichner has expressed that he does not want conservatives, especially those that voted for the 45th President of the United States and their associates, to see the film, even conservatives who identify as being part as the LGBTQ+ community as he views them as traitors.

Guess I'm not allowed to see it.
