Is there ever a day when you'd be comfortable with a gay feature film romance?
example.. Zachary Quinto and Jim Parsons
Who's directing?

Yes, I'm comfortable with gay romantic films now.
shareIt's been done already. What was "Brokeback Mountain" besides a horribly schmaltzy soap opera?
Jim Parsons lol yuck.
I would be super comfortable with an(other) offbeat romantic comedy starring Alison Brie and Aubrey Plaza.
shareYes. Today, tomorrow, yesterday.
shareYes, I watched Vampyros Lesbos (1971) recently and I was quite comfortable with the gay scenes.
shareIf it doesn't involve 2 woman?
shareWell, the only one I saw like that was Brokeback Mountain, and I don’t think those two dudes had taken a bath in days. Maybe I missed the part where they got cleaned up but it just didn’t seem right.
shareMatt Bomer and Aaron Tveit in American Horror stories could be in a full length feature based on the house renos and I would be all over that
shareThe problem with it is the gay population is so small that it wouldn’t have mainstream success and one is going to see a movie that doesn’t appeal to them.
shareWhat a flawed belief to cling to. There have been countless cases of mainstream audiences embracing films with prominently featured gay characters, superhero movies draw a sizable audience despite the vast majory of the general public not being superheroes.
Not everyone holds the same prejudices and you.
It's not prejudice to state facts.
shareAnd they often have to surprise the audience with it. It's not discrimination to state that you do not want to watch a romance between two dudes.
shareSo how do you explain Brokeback Mountain making $178 million on a $14 million budget? That seems like a mainstream success to me.
shareJust remembered that I've seen Supernova in the past year. Stanley Tucci and Colin Firth deliver some tender and heartfelt performances as a married couple in the midst of confronting a terrible affliction.
