Writers Billy Eichner and Nicholas Stoller have brought to us two more than needed messages made crystal clear through a romance between two ordinary guys. Director Nicholas keeps it really above board and this movie does not deserve the 'R' rating because there is no full nudity.
Message one - is more evident to the viewer through Bobby's vocalization about how history and society has punished, silenced, banished, and stigmatized love between two men. Thus the LGBTQ+ museum objective to let the world see.
Message two - is less evident because it's between the gay men themselves and how they treat one another (shown clearly with the dance and group parties) and between Bobby & Aaron. Their relationships are often brief and self serving which trivializes the LGBT community.
So Eichner and Nicholas have brought the two messages together in one light hearted well acted romance story. I find no fault with this movie outside being a bit too long.
