“Beyond those hills is our home”, he said softly to her ear, as they looked down the valley, toward the estuary. There the town was cradled, a thin glimmer of light against the darkness.
She shivered a little, but not from cold. She thought again of the place, the wild garden, the old walls. No-one had been there for ages. She could already hear the front door creak. Who would notice their…
suspected, I hated this movie, it was painful to watch how glorified gay men are, but even if a girl is of being gay she's alienated and made fun if, of*.
I thought the whole point of this movie was to show how fuckin ridiculous it was that gay men get glorified in a way such as the "gay best friend." Like the main character kind of gets sucked into it for a while but even he realizes how stupid it is in the end. I actually liked the lesbian, cause she seemed to stay the most realistic throughout the whole thing, and honestly if the main character hadn't been outed (and then made a big deal about cause he was the first one in their school) I think he would have had a pretty similar role as her (ie/ fairly comfortable with themselves but not flashing it everywhere that they are gay, and a very supportive friend).
Though saying that, I do get your point about how they showed how imbalanced heterosexual people's reactions can be towards a gay man vs a gay woman. But I felt that the point was to show how things are now in a semi realistic way (where they are treated very harmfully as either a fashion accessory or something not "normal," but either way as not something totally human) vs how they should be (treated equally, like any other person should be whether they are male or female or anything not in the gender binary).
