Movie's structure and implausibility

It occurred to me that after seeing this film, I thought this film has one of the strangest, implausible story structures I've ever seen.

1) First we see Henry Kray (Matt Newton, who looks like Emile Hirsch) being interviewed by a reporter as a way for him to reflect on his life and his father's re-election campaign being affected by Henry's admittance to being gay. Then we see Henry at a home in Los Angeles apparently enjoying seclusion away from his family when his square, religious brother knocks and begs him to come home. Then we see Henry apparently attending college somewhere in the East Coast in a much smaller room. Nowhere in this movie does it ever explain how Henry got from being in his own house to going to college or from going to college to having his own house.

2) Then Henry's brother Skip, really isn't his brother after all. We then see he's this Young Republicans President introducing Henry's Senator father, Jack and his mother, Eunice. I could be absolutely CRAZY but when I saw Poster Boy, I did see Henry and Skip as brothers when Henry was in his own house and then Henry getting Skip loosened up by going bar hopping and meeting the ladies.

3) Apparently U.S. Senator Jack Fray (a Republican from New York) is ultra conservative and happens to be the U.S. Senate Majority Leader. Well, in New York, the chances that a right-wing Republican could be a U.S. Senator, especially in the last five or so years, could be difficult considering the demographics. Several rural parts of New York can be more conservative than Brooklyn, Queens or NYC but they don't compare to states like Georgia, Alabama, Idaho or Utah. It would take a miracle or a "Macaca" incident like George Allen faced in 2006 to get Jack Fray elected into the U.S. Senate. State Senate, possibly. The majority of the demographic in New York is liberal and moderate so there could be greater chances Mr. Fray could be a Senator if he were from say, North Dakota. I would imagine if Jack Fray were running in New York, he would have to pander severely to moderates and independents if he were to ever get elected. Then again, this is a "movie" so I guess you could just as easily have an ultra conservative Mayor of San Francisco if you didn't want to be realistic enough.

4) How on Earth is the anti-Jack Fray activist group so small? I would presume that considering when the film was made and released, the group would have at least 20 or more members. Isn't New York a blue state?

5) Anthony (Jack Noseworthy) seems to be a guy who comes out of nowhere and his issues with being a production assistant and his roommate apparently not being the nicest person in the bookstore seem to be in another movie. If Anthony and his roommate were introduced right when they went to that college party and Anthony kissed Ben Fray, that would have been better story structure.
