This film has two glaring homophobic ironies: 1) Lesbian kissing was shown but gay-male kissing was awkwardly avoided; 2) all the gay characters were stereotypes. HEY SWEDEN: Effeminacy and male homosexuality are NOT THE SAME THING. Most homosexual men are masculine and are repressed by gay stereotypes. Saying a man with a man is unmanly has the same effect as saying it's bad or evil--both oppress homosexual masculine men.
@androkyle "Lesbian kissing was shown but gay-male kissing was awkwardly avoided" - The reason why the character William avoided to kiss his boyfriend Lukas, if that is what you mean, is because William is not gay or in love with him.
If you're talking about the 07:50-lesbian kiss at the party - those extras are the only ones in the movie that actually are a couple in real life. That is why we let them kiss. It has nothing to do with the fact that they are lesbians instead of gay-males.
@androkyle We are absolutley NOT homophobes. Our thought with the movie was rather the opposite of homophobia. We did not mean to hurt or make fun of anyone by using stereotypes. I'm sorry.
@androkyle This film is clearly anti-homophobic and pro-diversity. The effeminacy and stereotypes in the film represents the masculine (and feminine) roles and stereotypes of the heterosexual men and women of today and society's common view of the relationship between sexualities. I find your interpretation shallow and unjust. It's high school with roles reversed: instead of super masculine jocks and feminine prom queens being the "cool kids" running the show, it's super feminine gay boys.
@98lollol98 Låten heter "Walk-in Closet", och är framförd av Isa & Johnny, som de kallar sig. Det är vår Isabelle Kågström i filmteamet som sjunger och låten är skriven till denna film. Visst är den bra! :)
Jävlar vad bra! Ni spelar dock lite för mycket på stereotyper tycker jag... Men ni kanske gjorde det av en speciell anledning, vad vet jag. Jag har länge tänkt på att själv skriva ett manus om just detta, men ni hann före. Och ni gjorde det bra. Tack.
@yameyumex Tack så mycket! :D Anledningen till att vi valde att överdriva stereotyperna såpass var att vi ville göra det hela så tydligt som möjligt. Skulle vi inte ha spelat på stereotyper, tror jag inte att budskapet eller handlingen skulle gått fram på samma sätt. Det var så vi resonerade i alla fall. :)
@MIKUT The American movie _Almost Normal_ had the exact same concept without heavy stereotypes back in the '90s. (Check out the trailer to the film.) Would you have "överdrivit" stereotypes about another group? It's clear you're oblivious to how the stereotypes play into stigmatizing (open) homosexuality. A boy who's no different from other boys except that he's gay will probably be discouraged by this clip. You unnecessarily soiled a worthwhile concept.

I loved the way they dressed! lol Wish it was more accepted to dress like this (especially the guys with pink, makeup and tops etc.)
Didn't understand much of what they said though... What was the end about? Why did he burp??
