Like come on, are your writers or your board room members that lazy and careless? All they can come up with is: "Hey, remember that old character that we made who was straight and white?

    So, while highlighting injustices faced by homosexuals, the film does so through the eyes of one man who has been cheating on and lying to his wife for 3 years, and another who commits murder and arson? Not that the homophobic characters are any better but... who are we meant to root for? Um... oh dear...

      And they create this strawman out of legitimate religious homophobia by failing to understand how religious homophobia works. Nobody boils plain water on the stove with salt and pepper, calls it “holy water”, and thinks sticking to a door will make men straight. The Catholic Church doesn’t excommunicate people die for being related to gay people. It’s pretty damn easy to find real evidence of how religious homophobes behave, so why did he pull this one out of his ass?

    My main problem with many gay themed movies is that the death/suicide ending is used 80% of the time and I fucking hate it. They label the movie "romantic" and someone dies. All. The. Time. Even after a happy reunion, boom, suicide. I don't want to get depressed from a movie, which is why I also hated la la land and a star is born, I just want a happy ending man. Something like latter days, that was a great movie

    This movie is horrible and you obviously don’t get excommunicated from the Catholic Church for having a gay brother (or even being gay yourself), but the Pope’s words of support for gay marriage have already been revoked. The Church does not support LGBT rights and still considers homosexuality (or „homosexual deeds”, but it’s not really realistic to expect anyone to spend the rest of their lives in celibate) a sin. It depends on the place, but here in my country the priests call gay people degenerates and compare them to the coronavirus.

      The problem here, is that everyone apparently forgot the time Jesus said “love your neighbor as you would love yourself, no matter if they’ve sinned or not”. It’s like traditional churches and Christians just abuse the bible so people can listen to them, when that is the thing Jesus didn’t want. Also, I don’t even believe homosexuality as a sin. Jesus nor God said that it was a sin, all they said was be nice to people, be charitable, and pray to big J in the sky. Really, it’s just the christian beliefs being twisted so then older folks can use it to defend their wrong opinions. I will support love, much like Jesus did when he was alive

    I....i'm sorry? Did the main super religious villain of the movie who's main drive is saving his gay brothers soul shoot and kill somone without a second thought? Who does he think he is, the cristain church during the medieval ages?

    The OnlyFans mic-licking might be a joke, but that's always an option. Go full on furry smut and cash in. The only thing to decide would be to either shell out money for a proper fursuit or commission animations to do voice-over work for.

    For all aspiring future writers/filmmakers please take this one piece of advice... Before it is anything (diverse/lgbtq friendly/positive message etc.) your film needs to be enjoyable... This doesn't mean your it needs to be good it just means that whoever watches it shouldn't be walking away believing they wasted their time.
