I grew up in LA and up until that awful Kate Jackson "married a homo but am tough enough to handle it' movie came out, gay cinema was mostly going to see Boys In The Band once a year. It was actually "anti gay from a gay perspective" in my opinion, but we dutifully trudged to the event. Ta-da. That was it till next year. The younger folks won't ever know the thrill of having almost nothing gay available to watch. But it seems like gay cinema isn't supported by film goers anymore. It may disappear again too
