Once it is defined as a gay movie, then a lot of gay people are going to start looking at the movie through a political lens. I caught myself doing it from time to time, but was able to check myself.

You have described the movie very accurately, sparky. It is a love story between two men. It is really irrelevant if they were straight men who fell in love, one gay guy and a straight guy, two gay guys that would have been able to identify themselves that way in a different place and time, etc.

Well said.
