A typical Ang Lee movie about people being constrained by a strict culture.

I think in a way it was better than Philly where it shows blue collar or working class men who go through the troubles of being gay vs Philly where it was some rich ****er and how are those of the working class supposed to sympathize of the white collar rich workers?
There were plenty of poor gays, and straights, who got AIDS. Why not them instead?
It would be nice, if I am not aware of it already, if they gave you gays a mainstream movie that had a happy ending instead.

MAGA! FAFO! Schrodinger's Cat walks into a bar, and doesn't. Dumbocraps: evil people who celebrate murder.

Thanks! These both look interesting and I've never heard of either! I'm putting them on my list

I'd recommend
My Beautiful Laundrette
(1985)
It deals more with rebellion and racism as well as class struggles than focusing as much on gay romance.
The characters know where they stand with each other and they fight the odds against them.
It doesn't overdo anything or push anything…and it's well acted.
Making Love
(1982)
Some may think it was ahead of it's time, but it probably captures that period well before AIDS.
It's a love-triangle that ends up with each person going separate ways, but they all have closure.
Michael Ontkean and Kate Jackson seem to be the perfect married couple but his sexual orientation overrides the relationship and he ends up having a fling with another guy, played by Harry Hamlin.
Hamlin is too self-absorbed to commit to a relationship and far to set in his cruising ways, so things go south rather quickly
Ontkean yearns for something more stable…with another male
His wife struggles to keep their marriage but eventually comes to terms with the inevitable
Are you okay?

I've seen people on the internet trash the tragic ones, saying there needs to be more happy gay stories, and i kind of agree but i think the tragic ones are valid. I mean, lgbtq peeps go through a lot so it makes sense to portray that. I usually just steer clear of anything that i know will make me cry lol. But they're still great movies, like you said. I need to check out Carol!

I've never seen the whole thing because it looks so sad. I'm sure it's great but i agree with the peeps saying there needs to be more happy gay stories.
I watched little miss sunshine the other day after not seeing it in forever and it made me think of you. Cause you're critical of characters that are made into gay stereotypes. I thought they did a great job with steve carell's character. I had forgotten he was even gay. Not that there's anything wrong with flamboyantly gay characters, i just think it's good to have a wider representation since they're not all 'swishy'

I liked the scenery.

You might like Kissing Jessica Stein (2001). It’s funny, clever, and has more of an incisive bite on same sex couples than Brokeback Mountain could ever hope to have.
Kiss my black ass! Toodles!

Kill yourself

“I can’t be bigoted because I have lots of friends who are ___”
First off there is no way you have any friends. Secondly that is the stupidest counterpoint anyone can make when being called out for being bigoted. Motherfucker you are a homophobe. Accept it ******.

I’m not a homophobe ,I’ve got lots of gay friends,I’m can’t get into any tragic love story .I don’t hate gays ,only if they are assholes ,I hate all assholes. I’ve had guys I’ve known for years that were friends that I thought were straight ,come out and ask me out and of course I’ve said no thanks ,and we still chat .Love stories are not my bag and yes I’ll admit watching a love story about 2 gay mails to be awkward .
Ho Ho Ho

I just can't get into a movie about 2 homosexual men,I don't like tragic love stories no matter the sexuality, it is what it is.
Mechanic, you're a homophobe. Gay people can "get into" a story about a man and a woman without puking. Sorry, I ain't buying it. Bigotry rears its ugly head again.
