Earlier this year, the Universal-backed Bros hoped to go where no major studio comedy had gone before by becoming the first LGBTQ rom-com starring two out gay actors — Billy Eichner and Luke Macfarlane — to top the box office charts. Despite critical acclaim and sold-out screenings at the Toronto International Film Festival, though, the movie had to settle for fourth place during its opening weekend and a cumulative gross just shy of $15 million.
Eichner — who also wrote the movie — didn't shy away from expressing his disappointment in interviews and on social media. In a since-deleted Twitter post, he suggested that "straight people... just didn't show up for Bros," potentially contributing to the film's financial woes. (Some conservative commentators made similar arguments after Walt Disney's new animated adventure, Strange World — which featured out gay comedian, Jaboukie Young-White, as the company's first out gay teenager — underperformed in its opening weekend, reportedly costing Disney upwards of $100 million.)
Flash-forward a few months, and Universal's specialty label, Focus Features, is releasing its own LGBTQ love story with out gay actors front and center: Spoiler Alert, produced by and starring former Big Bang Theory star Jim Parsons. Based on the memoir by TV journalist, Michael Ausiello, the movie strikes a very different tone than the proudly raunchy R-rated Bros, recounting the story of Ausiello's romance with his husband, Kit Cowan (played by Ben Aldridge), from their first meet-cute in 2002 to Cowan's death from cancer in 2015. It's a sweet, funny and sad love story in the tradition of past heteronormative hits like... well, Love Story — with a dash of Terms of Endearment thrown in via the presence of Kit's loving parents, played by Bill Irwin and Sally Field.

Not even gays want to see a gay love story in the movies. At best, if every ticket sold in that movie had been bought a homosexual, less than 5% of the homosexual population bought a movie ticket.
Woke students in college (and thereafter) may be conditioned to ignore that revulsion by indoctrination and brainwashing, but it cannot be erased from human nature.
We may be able to learn to tolerate homosexuality at the margin of society because we can look away, but it will never occupy a prominent place.
I never watched Big Bang Theory because I didn’t find Sheldon’s gay persona to be at all entertaining.
But the annoying thing was that a lot of my friends and even family loved that show, and would insist Sheldon wasn’t meant to be gay - just a science nerd.
Right.
You forgot the P.
All the woke crap is bombing. ALL of it.
In the early episodes Sheldon expressed a great deal of sexual interest in Penny. In the later ones he started enjpying sex with Amy.
Chachter was straight but for much of the run sim0ky nit interested in sex vs. intellectual pursuits.
Sheldon was never portrayed as gay. Parsons coming out was a bit of a surprise.
Well, the audience has already showed no interest in gay ‘love’ stories. And, some men, straight or gay in entertainment are popular when very Young, but after thirty just give off a creepy vibe and their career goes down the drain. Reality is what it is.
“Sheldon was never portrayed as gay.“
Then why all the gay mannerisms?
LOL!!! Your naiveté is endearing.
Let me explain what’s going on:
The Hollywood Leftist agenda is to “normalize” homosexuality and other deviant behavior. The only way to normalize the abnormal is through deception.
So they pick a gay actor, give his character all the gay mannerisms, but put him in non-gay relationships (that never go anywhere, because HE’S GAY).
This sort of deception only works on certain people - and I’m not one of them.
I think your friends and family were correct in their assessment of the Sheldon character on TBBT.
Sheldon Cooper wasn’t interested in sex, or ‘coitus’ as he routinely called it. I think that is considered more asexual, not homosexual. The character fancied himself more of a Spock in thought process, and definitely displayed some form of social disorder like Aspergers or something similar.
The Big Bang Theory is pretty funny IMHO, with plenty of science fiction and gamer jokes. None of the main characters are out and out homosexual, they’re just all nerds that have a hard time scoring with babes thanks to all their social awkwardness.
You are 100% correct. You’ll see the same actions in normalizing pedophilia, Islam and anti-Christianity. It’s everywhere. Satan is very clever-most people don’t even know why the gay community has a rainbow as their universal symbol.
Sheldon is annoying, straight or gay. Everybody caving to his whims was the worst part of the show.
I never watched it either. I’m just not interested in science. The cast really didn’t do much for me anyway.
Go to YouTube and watch the original unaired pilot.
Sheldon was most definitely not gay in that. His character was not some conspiracy. He’s played as a genius who is most definitely on the spectrum…. Nothing more.
But seriously, everyone, take 10 minutes to see an alternative universe where Sheldon is a horny genius.
Rip-roaring huge snotty faggot. Never could stand his obnoxious attitude toward non-Alphabet-Nazi people.
