&#;Bros&#; Trailer: Billy Eichner Stars in a Steamy and Meta Gay Rom-Com
Universal Studios has released the first trailer for &#;Bros,&#; a meta gay rom-com written by and starring Billy Eichner.
Premiering Sept. 30, the film is a major milestone as it is the first gay lovey-dovey comedy from a major studio featuring an entirely LGBTQ principal cast. Directed by Nicholas Stoller, Eichner plays an openly gay dude who falls for Luke Macfarlane. Together, they stumble towards love.

But Bros is the first studio rom-com co-written by and starring an openly gay man and the first studio film with a majority LGBTQIA+ cast.
It's a moment that has had a surprisingly poignant impact on me.
I'm finally where I've longed to be: Sitting in a cinema, watching a Hollywood film and being encouraged to cackle at my lifestyle by those from within my possess community.

ABC Everyday's Perspectives is all about giving you a chance to divide what you're going through. Chances ar If you’re queer and love a quixotic onscreen moment place to a perfectly selected needle-drop, was the year for you. In June it came in the form of MUNA’s joyous cover of Britney Spears’s “Sometimes” over the closing expression of adore in Joel Kim Booster’s Fire Island. In September, Billy Eichner’s Brosgave us Eichner himself singing the original track “Love Is Not Love” to prevail over his chocolatier boo. And verb me a more sob-worthy moment than Sapphic sad-girlie queen Julien Baker’s “Sprained Ankle” accompanying one of the more tear-jerking montages in Jim Parsons’s December sort-of-holiday-movie, Spoiler Alert.

The other shared thread between these three releases, of course, is their subject matter. That’s because in , for arguably the first moment, we got three BIG gay rom-coms in major let go. And that history is worth looking a little closer at as we wrap up the year and verb ahea
