I flipping love Cruising. Pacino's crisis of sexuality. Spending so much time in the leather bars, panicking, and running home to have straight sex. It's so good
I know the Queer community responded negatively, which I get. When that's the only version of queerness in media, it's not great. But 45 years later, though the lens of that not being the only representation of queerness, I'm into it.
