Bros is the first gay romantic comedy released by a major studio with a cast of entirely LGBTQIA+ performers, including Jim Rash, Harvey Fierstein, Ts Madison, Monica Raymund, Guillermo Díaz, and Amanda Bearse. The film will be released on Sept. 30.
Hollywood has a history of neglecting LGBTQIA+ performers and lauding straight performers for their"bravery" in playing queer characters. Whether it’s Tom Hanks in, the Academy Awards sure love to reward straight actors for “playing gay.” Billy Eichner has been fighting his entire career to change that. He’s done it by being hilarious and by being himself..
“You can’t have a romantic relationship if you can’t be vulnerable,” Eichner says. “In the long term, that’s not going to work out, and these two characters really struggle with that. The movie, as much as it’s about gay men specifically, it’s about men in general in terms of how hard of a time we sometimes have in expressing our feelings and being vulnerable, really being intimate, being scared of commitment. I think it speaks to all of that.
Eichner says he was shocked when a good friend of his remarked that he found this “bro persona” attractive.
