Glad to be gay - that's what this movie made me feel. I came out of the cinema feeling ecstatic. At last, they let us have a movie with a happy ending!! One where we weren't crippled by prejudice or dying of AIDS or mincing around in a feather boa. Awesome!
It's not realistic - lets be honest. And this despite its gritty setting and ripe dialog. But who cares. After 100 years of cinema we deserved a "Hollywood" ending.
I hope straights get as much out of this as I do from a great "straight" romance movie. No reason why they shouldn't. We've been watching their stuff quite happily for years.
Oh, and a quick nod in the direction of Mama Cass Elliot. Her musical legacy - one that had been largely neglected prior to the movie's release - provided the film with its awesome soundtrack. I bought the movie and CD. Her voice is enough to brighten up the dullest of days.
