Has Gay Cinema Finally Gone Too Far? (We Hope So!)

If Milk is too mainstream for you, then it's time to get excited for Were The World Mine, a new indie movie now in select theaters. Singing! Frustrated gay youth! Magical tinctures that reset your sexual orientation! Here's the trailer, plus a bonus clip with more singing.

In Were The World, a frustrated gay teenager in a small town discovers a Shakespearean love potion that doesn't just cause love — it makes you gay. (But nobody gets a donkey head, which is probably a good thing on this movie's budget.) Soon, he's giving everyone in his town a new perspective. The trailer compares it to Hedwig, but it reminds me more of the awesome Zero Patience.
