Billy Eichner on homophobia in Hollywood: 'It's shocking, the things people said to me'

[BluegrassJay]

It's not homophobic to not wanna see a movie.

[butteryfriedwizard]

Don't worry. Your movie will pick up steam when it's released in the middle east and China.

[Bruceskyy]

It's not homophobic to tell an actor to make themselves more marketable. And it seems they had a point considering how Bros went

[elh]

... And tweeting about how "certain parts of the nation" didn't go out and see the movie in similar #'s as L.A., helps...?!?!
Yes, we exist everywhere..
Maybe, we don't have the numbers in rural Oklahoma, why insult an entire demographic because your movie bombed (talking about his Twitter rant)..?!?!
.
Simultaneously, all i saw in the trailers was over dramatization of Femmy gays, while low-key (and not low-key), celebrating masculine gays (which is totally fine, "...and we
But why pat yourself on the back for throwing many in your community under the bus, then saying some small town in N.C. needs to be inclusive to the nuanced, divisive, point you are making..??!!
Honest, my first impression, as a gay man, "sit down sir, and shut the fuck up".
BTW quite a bit of the blowback, is because many of us don't have the courage to critique the indoctrination of pre-pubescent kids into the transgender lifestyle...
We have been completely silent on that bullshit...🤷🏻‍♂️
It's not like they aren't fucking up little gay boys and girls, in order to appear progressive..
... And we're silent...
We've met that ideology completely takeover our spaces, the rest of the nation sees that.
Stupid to think there wouldn't be blowback.
(I don't care what adults do, chop it, i don't want it... But, what they are doing with kids is central to our image at this moment, like it, or not.)

Buddy if you want things to change then you need to change your attitude, it’s going to kill your case, it’s already killed your film.

[pedromendez]

The movie is actually good, there’s to much shade in the gay community, doesn’t hurt to support another gay fella

[jackgriffin]

As a gay man I have zero interest in watching this movie so I guess I’m homophobic also. I don’t know why but most gay movies suck and it’s sad but true. There are exceptions like “Call me by your name” and “Love Simon” but I think why those movies do good is because it appeals to a younger audience. The problem with this movie is not that it’s a gay movie but that it’s an old gay cringey movie. Maybe if the actors were younger and hotter people would have seen it lol. I don’t think people are homophobic, more like ageist, because even younger gays don’t even want to see this.

He will probably take the whole world hostage if he can.

Billy Eichner about straight people not watching Bros

[alwaysmarcy]

Don't worry, I'd never call you too smart

[mrwhiteboy]

Not wanting to see a gay movie isn't homophobic, I'm not interested in seeing a story of gay people

[richiejohnson]

I'm gay and I don't care for Eichner. Never thought he was fun. Didn't know he felt so entitled.

[GayFrogsTho]

Imagine making a movie about your whole personality

And everybody fucking hating it

[warlockofwordsreturnsrb]

In and Out was a gay themed rom-com, back in the 1990s, directed by Yoda himself, Frank Oz.

[Abdulllah]

He wants to be a victim so bad it’s actually very sad

[plweis]

Get on with being who you are and stop telling others about it. No one cares

[metamorphic]

2022, where “you’re too smart and ambitious” is a gay slur

[toserveman]

Get over the fact that the movie is a failure and learn from your mistakes. Rom Coms are inherently unpopular and historically don't make money...

[themadhatter]

Here's an idea. Make a gay movie, to entertain the gay population, and then blame straight people for why your movie didn't make enough money.
Listen to yourself?

[kathrynoneill]

If everyone is homophobic in America then why did Will And Grace and Modern Family do so well?
