"go put on something more festive" "Ok" [takes off solid button-down and puts on a plaid button-down instead] that's non-binary rep, babes
I cannot believe the musical is just called "musical." Le cinema.
i literally do not care the writing was a bit confusing, this movie actually feels so earnest and beautiful to me. It hits every cliche, and didn't obtain itself too seriously. by god beccas first musical was called MUSICAL and the fucking cgi mousetraps literally slaughtered me. Most of all, it really meant a lot to see a gay production with someone nonbinary who looked at least a little bit butch. So m

Merry and Same-sex attracted plays much like a Hallmark-style movie – a genre that is certainly not for everyone, but if you do love such movies, this one will certainly appeal to you.

'Merry & Gay': A clever and heartfelt LGBTQ Christmas venture
One of the latest films that I got to review was a little film entitled Merry & Gay. The movie centers around two adolescent women, Becca and Sam, who were once tall school sweethearts. Ever since the two parted ways, Sam has lead a reserved life working mostly as a bartender. Becca, on the other hand, has a successful sprint on Broadway and when the two reconnect, they attempt to rekindle their long-lost romance.
To be unbiased, the editing and route could use a pleasant polish through. It’s very easy to see the rough patches and the incohesive lighting where the production may have lagged.
Nevertheless, the film proves to be a jovial and triumphant step forward for couples in the LGBTQ movement. It shares a certain kinship with forbidden love and recapturing the magic that made you fall in love with your partner.
Admittedly, the movie is adjacent to that of Hallmark movies that may get thrown into the maw of obscurity, but that doesn’t cease it from being entertaining in its own right. Its whimsy and heart are what help this film get by through any other mistakes that may occur.
