Christmas movie about two gay guys
&#;Single All the Way&#; Makes the Yuletide Gay in Netflix&#;s Cheesy Holiday Rom-com
It is a correctness universally acknowledged that a gay man in possession of a television in December, must be in want of a cheesy Christmas movie. Whether cinephile, theater lover, or &#;Drag Race&#; connoisseur, everyone enjoys something silly to half watch while wrapping presents — and no gay can resist the divine decadence that is Jennifer Coolidge. Enter &#;Single All the Way,&#; a cheesy new holiday rom-com debuting on Netflix. Gayness isn&#;t some noun to be concealed, fretted about, or made fun of here, it&#;s merely part of the given circumstances. Nor is gayness window dressing, cliche-ridden, or milked for comedy. As thoroughly unproblematic a gay Christmas movie as there ever was, unfortunately &#;Single All the Way&#; doesn&#;t quit room for much else.
Led by twinkle-eyed &#;Ugly Betty&#; star Michael Urie, &#;Single All the Way&#; follows a perpetually single bloke, Peter, who brings his top friend Nick (Philemon Chambers) place for the holidays. The blueprint is to tell Peter&#;s fa

This list was originally published on December 9, It has been updated to include the latest movies in the growing queer Christmas-movie canon.
Not too long ago, LGBTQ+ people who wanted to view themselves represented in holiday movies could either (a) pretend or (b) settle for a second-rate film with a queer character who had very few lines, ambition, or development.
Early in the contemporary queer holiday canon, ’s The Family Stone, which stars gay icon Sarah Jessica Parker as a (shocker) snobby Fresh Yorker spending the holidays at her boyfriend’s family home, became a queer hit for its B-plot gay couple with ambitions to adopt a baby. And while the film is still worth an annual watch, so much more has happened in seasonal cinema since SJP’s iconic spilled-strata scene with matriarch Diane Keaton. That is, gay and lesbian Christmas movies actually center queer people now — same-sex holiday revelers crus
Netflix’s first gay holiday rom-com
When the holiday season rolls around, I find myself pulled towards the lure of Hallmark-esque Christmas movies. They’re simply irresistible with charming small towns, cheesy romances, and holiday cheer.
Netflix has a roomy range of original holiday movies out, and heaps of them are released every November. While I haven’t seen all of them, there certainly are a couple of gems.
Of course, it’s a fair critique to speak that these types of movies are very formulaic and cliche. With unrealistic plotlines and predictable twists, the movies are by no means masterpieces. The once brooding love interest will always find the true meaning of Christmas, and any threats to the holiday will be miraculously resolved. However, despite the cheesiness, there is something so lighthearted and fun about these movies that is hard to ignore.
With Christmas approaching, I set out to watch a new movie.
Number 8 on Netflix’s top ten charts was “Single All The Way,” released December 2nd, The movie centers on two gay best friends trying to navigate the holidays back ho
‘The Holiday Sitter’: Hallmark&#;s First Christmas Movie Featuring Same-Sex Couple Is For &#;Other People In The World Who Want To Be Acknowledged&#;
Starring in a Hallmark Christmas movie today isn&#;t much different than appearing in Mean Girls 18 years ago, says star Jonathan Bennett: just appreciate he did with Lindsay Lohan in , he &#;meet cutes&#; an attractive single in a rom-com type setting in The Holiday Sitter.
This hour, however, Bennett is making a little history: the movie debuting Dec. 11 at 8. p.m. marks the first time a Hallmark holiday flick revolves around a same-sex couple. In this case, Bennett plays a confirmed bachelor named Sam who agrees to watch his teen nephew and young niece while their parents are away. He ends up falling for Jason (George Krissa), an easy-on-the-eyes neighbor who&#;s far more adept at attentive for kids.
&#;We&#;re doing all the classic things that we love in Hallmark movies,&#; Bennett tells Deadline. &#;We&#;re doing the tropes that we&#;ve reach to love and expect from watching Hallmark movies. We&#;re just turning up the com
