One of the last scenes is lit by police car strobe lights at night.
All of the camera work in this film is either stationary or very smooth.
Flashing Lights: 6/10. Motion Sickness: 1/10.

Real-world experiences of LGBT+ people are shared, including descriptions of hate crimes and slurs. Someone is forced to euthanize a dog with a gun while listening to homophobic abuse.
