As one of the first releases in cinemas of a queer rom-com produced by a major studio, “Bros” is making movie history. But the comedian Billy Eichner, who co-wrote and stars in the film, tells David Remnick that the milestone has taken too long to achieve.
Absolutely. Honestly, that's exactly one of the first things I said to Nick when he came to me with the invitation. I said,"I'm very flattered. I've never starred at a movie before. I've never written a movie before. I don't know why you think I can do this. I obviously want to take you up on it.
Here's what happens. When culture and society at large for the vast majority of human existence does not want to talk about the private lives of gay people and LGBTQ people and essentially erases us from the mainstream narrative, from textbooks, from history, two things happen. A, it can traumatize that population to a certain degree. That's the negative.
We certainly all deserve e equal protection under the law, but maybe we don't want to get married ever. Maybe we want to get married and continue to have sex with other people and that works for us. Maybe we have an open relationship without getting married. Maybe we're polyamorous. The culture ignoring us for a long time gave us the ability to go in a dark corner and decide what felt good to us.
