I don't know the answer to that, but it's a good question. We're going to have to go through all kinds of novelty-homo stuff in popular culture now, aren't we? And people are going to say it's good just because of the homo-ness of it, aren't they? Pragmatically, it's probably a necessary step towards equality, but I don't look forward to art that's over-hyped based on the orientations of the subjects involved. One thing I do know is that this movie would have zero hype if it were about a straight couple.
