Um....I don't have a "gay card" and I don't have any desire for one. BUT, I would agree that, "My Beautiful Laundrette" is one of the most special and important gay films that has ever been produced. I have seen it dozens of times.

"Short Bus" is on my list to eventually get around to seeing. John Cameron Mitchell comes to our faerie gatherings occasionally. My bf knows him on a personal level. I do not.

Since I had a relatively easy time "coming out" and have never had problems with people not liking me because of my sexuality, it's hard for me to identify with a particular gay film as it pertains to my reality. However, I like many gay films, of course.
