He can't even admit to being gay.
What he needs right now are friends,|not a boyfriend.
Where you goin'?
You're right.|What he needs now are friends.
- He wants to sleep with him.|- Thank you.
Hey, we're going to Jack's.|It's one of our many losing traditions.
-Just f*** off.|- You should come.
Everyone gets dumped|first time around.
It's the rule|of all newbie relationships.
What happens next?|Do I become like you and your friends?
You don't even know my friends.
I know them well enough to know|you're a bunch of bitter, jaded--
Fags? Go ahead and say it.
- I wasn't going to say that.|- You should.
Maybe then you'd be less afraid|of what it means.
Why can't everything just slow down?
I promise it will,|but you can't go back now.
At least go have|a cup of coffee with me?
- One condition.|- What?
West Hollywood's that way.
Show me one thing|you find interesting that way.
- So you come here a lot?|- You could say that.
In fact, next to Karen Carpenter...
this place is the closest thing|to perfection I know.
The Carpenters?|Now, that I get.
- You like the Carpenters?|- Insanely.
Here's to your first O.G.T.
Obviously Gay Trait.
Mine are love of the Carpenters,|culinary interests...
and intense fear of blood sports.
I don't get it. Why be friends with a|group of people just because you're gay?
That's not why we're friends.
It may be why we became friends,|but that's not why we're friends.
- Doesn't that drive you crazy?|- Of course.
At least six times a year, I threaten|to move to Europe like my brother did.
Only I wouldn't go for just|a few months. I'd stay.
I'd bring my camera, finally take|my time developing a photographer's eye.
Really find my voice.
Then something happens.
A birthday, summer parties...
Christmas,|great night of dancing.
And I'm with them and...
suddenly I can't imagine|being anywhere else.
So I stay.
Have you told anybody|about what you're going through?
- A few people.|- Like?
- My sister.|- Ooh, that's worth at least ten points.
Yeah, it wasn't planned. I was home|last Christmas, and she caught me.
- With a guy?|- No, alone.
By myself, flying solo.
Ouch. To what, gay porn?
Oh, no. Worse than that.
An article on Antonio Sabato,Jr.
I thought my mom would be cooler.|She was a '60s love child.
In high school, she caught me|smoking pot with my friends.
All she said was, "I hope you|didn't pay market for that."
But when I told her I was gay,|she didn't talk to me for a month.
- How is she now?|- Better.
Still refers to the homosexual|population as "the gays"...
like they live on her block|or somethin'.
" Dennis, I see the gays had a parade.|Did you go?"
My dad would have been different.
- You didn't tell him?|- He died before I told anyone.
My biggest regret:|he died not knowing me.
You can't say that.|Maybe he didn't know--
He died not knowing me.
We want your sperm.|We're not asking you to move in.
What about cousin Jeffrey?|He's got our genes. He could donate.
Jeffrey's a Promise Keeper|and a card-carrying member of the NRA.
He doesn't have any genes|I'm interested in, Patrick.
I'm sorry.|My answer still stands.
I told you we should have|drugged him and jerked him off.
Drug me and jerk--|Do you hear this?
This is the woman that you|want to become a mother with.
- She's being serious.|- Okay.
You two want the truth?|Here's the truth.
You guys can't keep a plant alive.|How are you gonna take care of a child?
We haven't even discussed the realities|of what this kid will have to deal with.
Are you prepared to answer, " Mom #1 ,|why is Mom #2's brother my father?"
Look at the three of us. What kind|of Christmas card is this gonna make?
You know what?|I don't have to listen to this.
I'm doing this for your sister because|she wanted to involve you in this.
She had this funny idea|that maybe if we did...
you'd get your sh*t together and start|taking responsibility for your life.
But I can see|that you'd rather not.
That's fine with me.|I'm going to get the car.
Is that what this is about?|Some sort of mission to save me?
Patrick, when you came out...
you said it was because you couldn't|live the rest of your life in misery.
And I have never seen you|more miserable.
I'm sorry, gentlemen,|but the evidence is rudimentary.
There's not a single film|in the cinema canon...
that paints a portrait of a gay man|that any of us would aspire to be.
What are our options?|Noble, suffering AI DS victims...
the friends of noble,|suffering AI DS victims...
compulsive sex addicts,|common street hustlers...
and the most recent addition|to the lot...
stylish confidantes|to lovelorn women.
Just once I'd like to see|a gay character that is not sick...
has not been laid in about three months|and is behind on his student loans.
And that's someone|you would aspire to be.
At least they would be someone real.
Can you imagine if they made a film|about us, our group of friends?
Maybe then we wouldn't have|to shamefully compare ourselves...
to "Steel Magnolias."
He is so Sally Fields.
- I thought I was Sally Fields.|- No, you're Shirley MacLaine.
Which one am I?
Julia Roberts.
For your nerves, honey.
What are you doing here? We agreed|not to see each other in public.
- I said it was too hard.|- I didn't know you were gonna be here.
We had a game today.|We always come here after the game.
- I'm telling you, I forgot.|- Whatever.
Since you're here, if you want|to join us for a drink.
- I can't.|- You can't?
I'm trying to tell you|that I can't.
There are no tables available,|so it might be a while.
Oh, it's too busy here, so we should|probably go to the movie anyway.
Cool.
I didn't see you out there.
I came in the back.
I felt like an emergency piece|of cobbler before I faced the crowd.
How'd it go with the girls?
It went.
I miss anything?
Same old song.
Howie was going on about gay cinema.
Sometimes I wonder what you boys|would do if you weren't gay.
You'd have no identity.
It was easy when you couldn't talk|about it. Now it's all you talk about.
You talk about it so much|that sometimes you forget about...
all the other things that you are.
When I watch them,|it feels so strange.
It's like I'm not even a part of it.
They're all so much|more attractive than I am.
No. You know what?
I don't mind. Really, I don't.
I kind of like being attractive|by association.
It's the closest I've ever gotten|to feeling beautiful.
Help me put my dress on.
Jack, you're not going out|in drag tonight.
It's Saturday.|The crowd expects it.
The madness has got to stop. You don't|even like wearing women's clothes.
So?
So it's a disgrace|to drag performers everywhere.
Big f***in' deal.
And it completely plays into|the whole gay stereotype.
Again, big f***ing deal.
And your tits are always crooked.
- No sh*t? Nobody ever told me that.|- Well, they are.
Here, come here.
I've never felt a man up before.
There. That's--
