by now — but the first-ever gay rom-com two produced by a major motion picture is only coming out this year.
“Bros” is history-making for other reasons. The movie was written by comedian Billy Eichner, who is also the first openly gay man to go-write and star in his own film. Director Nicholas Stoller also co-wrote the film. Further, the principal cast is composed almost entirely of people in the LGBTQ community, another first for a major studio film.“I really, really want to do a good job because I think I owe it to the LGBTQ community,”
. “You know, we want to see ourselves reflected in an authentic way and I also wanted it to be really, really funny for everyone.”The cast includes Eichner as Bobby, a man whostruggles “to find another tolerable human being to go through life with,” and Luke Macfarlane as his love-interest-in-question, Aaron.
