I'm a lesbian and I think this movie is terrible.

I just finished watching it and I totally agree with you. The characters seemed more like caricatures and the lack of chemistry between the two really dragged the movie down. Oh and the cheese ball music didn't help. The movie seemed like it was all about showing off someone's terrible mixtape.

It's all relative... I know plenty of ppl who wouldn't be friends with someone gay and families who shun their gay kids...

My mom kicked me out of her house for being gay. I'm in my early 20s. I had to move in with my dad. His family doesn't like it either. I've lived in the Cleveland area where this movie is filmed. There's a lot of conservatives. A lot if my close friends families are GOP. I was coming out of brooks brothers downtown last summer and I was called a gay slur. I was in Lakewoos, a famously gay enclave, and called a gay slur. The Heights where this family is from goes both ways. There's a lot of liberals there, but there's also a lot of conservatives pockets. The country club my father is a member of is crazy conservative.

Way to paint yourself and your family circumstance as the center of the universe. I had to come out twice to my parents for them both to really accept it, once in the late 2000s and again just a couple of years ago when I wanted to introduce my boyfriend to them. And both times were complete nightmares. They didn't seem to really accept it even a couple years ago when introduced them to my boyfriend. My mother who is a black Christian female (Christianity is very strong in our community) was still trying to set me up with a woman. I have the sweetest, most caring, and supportive mother ever but on that issue she was just always kind of back and forth because of her Christianity. Even at times when I thought she was cool with it, she would show different attitudes at different intervals. Right now, she is supportive but she will never completely agree with it because of her religion.

In addition, I refuse to ever fully come out to my grandfather. I think he suspects and he expresses his supicion by saying things like "You ain't one of them gays, is you boy? Hurry up and get a girlfriend. People are going to think you're a gay." He has harassed my mother about it and said "Is he a gay or something. Why doesn't that boy have a girlfriend." For every time I see him, he hounds me to get a girlfriend at least 10 times and tells me to bring a girlfriend to church.

I am no longer on speaking terms with my brother because I guess he suspects and whenever we get in a heated disagreement, he has called me f.a.g. and mocked me as a girl.

And even my brother who is handicapped regularly makes homophobic jokes so I don't feel comfortable coming out to him.

I have only fully come out to my parents and that was 3 years of hell in the late 90s before we sort of just didn't talk about it. It had to come up again because my boyfriend wanted to meet them in 2013.

It just greatly disturbs me that all because things are one way in your world, there supposed to be that way for everyone else according to you. There is a child in my family who was completely disowned by his mother after she found out he was gay so he was staying with aunt. As a lesbian, you really should consider the words that come out of your mouth. Life isn't a bed of roses ESPECIALLY FOR GAY MEN. I guess out don't know about the lesbian experience. Overall, the lesbian experience might be easier than the gay male experience and especially the gay black male experience.

In all fairness though, Alexis Bledel has no chemistry with any of her other love interests too. She was good in Gilmore Girls but other than that, she's just not a very good actress. Sorry but shes very one-dimensional and has zero screen presence. KH was good but i just felt AB was a weak choice (as she usually is) to play Katherine Heigel's leading lady. I felt awkward whenever i saw her on screen.

When my cousin came out less than ten years ago, my aunt called my mom in hysterics... we rushed to her home thinking he was injured or something... my Uncle looked at us when we got in the home and said, "it's the boy"... and I was so relieved that he wasn't dying somewhere that I laughed at her... he is their only child and I think it was her "idea" of the what ifs that tore at her... but he's her baby and he's married and happy.. some people are very sheltered but the scene between Jenny and her mom helped me to understand what was going on in her head... when my other cousin came out, her sisters locked her in a room... they hated her girlfriend, who is awesome and do they eventually loved her, but small town thinking prevailed for a while... I agree with your opinion on other aspects of the movie... the coldness between Jenny/Kitty was glaring!!! Affection is important in every relationship ... no chemistry... I hug and kiss my friends all the time and I'm not gay... lol... I'm a touchy, feely person and if I was feeling alienated from my family I would need that extra affection.
