Why Did The Gay Romcon “Bros” Bomb?

Read Time:4 Minute, 36 Second

By Bill Collier- The people behind the movie “Bros” are upset their $22 million dollar romatic comedy about two men hooking up for romance and sex garnered only $5 million in ticket sales, perhaps all mostly in LA, San Francisco, and New York.

People like me, who only revel in things we see as fitting God’s best for humanity, e.g. traditional “heteronormative” marriage, probably weren’t the “target audience.” But who were the target audience and if the rainbow crowd’s support base are most people, why didn’t they watch this movie?

My stance has always been clear: I embrace tolerance but not acceptance and I am not drawn to such things. Let me explain a bit.

Based on my understanding of Scripture and my study of history, I consider all forms of sex outside a man and woman being married for life to be totally outside God’s laws and the natural order of humanity.

While I also accept everyone’s right to decide these things for themselves, as God alone judges each individual, I don’t revel in anything that has such things as its basis.

This extends to many other movies and stories that revel in extra-Biblical sexual themes. In short, this movie checks all the wrong boxes for me.

This doesn’t mean I won’t watch movies that contain things I don’t personally think reflect God’s best for humanity, the issue is that when that is the theme, I tend to avoid them. Again, in case you missed it, if you don’t think God’s laws are what I think they are based on my beliefs and convictions, that’s totally fine with me since, obviously, I am not God and He hasn’t enjoined ME to judge you or in any way control you.

That being said, people like me are in the apparent minority. Most people tend to think sex outside of one man and one woman who commit to each other for life is perfectly fine. Most people accept all types of romatic and sexual relationships and even think the embracing of homosexuality is a sign of progress and the evolution of society toward diversity and acceptance.

My stance that God’s law forbids all forms of sex outside of a man and woman being married for life is “dated” to most people: they reject my stance as archaic and backwards. The Bible is very clear to me: they that do such things or even revel in them will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

You don’t agree? Fine. Don’t agree and do your thing. You want me to shut up or be canceled? Now you go too far and, I suspect, any actions you take against me will earn you God’s wrath.

We who fully embrace only that which we deem fits within God’s sacred blueprint for humanity are evidently in the minority. Most people are all about acceptance and don’t see God’s law even as being relevant outside Sunday School.

So why didn’t all these people, for whom the romantic love between two men is no different than that of a man and woman, flock to this movie which showcases a more progressive and evolved cultural setting?

Maybe the movie is bad. Maybe the polls showing most people disagree with me are a reflection of people’s fear to cross the rainbow coalition’s sensitivities which basically mean the “lgbtqetcandonandon” crowd are so sacrosanct anything but adoration of them will get you canceled. Perhaps most people even secretly tend to instinctively think I am right but fear of rejection by every major institution in this country compels them to parrot acceptance and shriek even louder against the “phobes.”

If indeed these alphabetized “communities” represent only 7% of the population, why is 99% of what is being produced by “entertainment” being determined by the edict “thou shalt cater only to them?”

Imagine any attempt to produce a movie that explicitly glorified a man and women being married for life and rejecting the rainbow fascist edicts against God’s laws (as we see them). It would be treated as if the producers were rounding up the rainbow crowd and tossing them into camps, or worse, even though that wasn’t the case.

It all comes down to the rainbow fascist propaganda lie that not accepting equals hate and that to dare to proclaim that the only way that is God’s way is for one man and one woman to be married for life constitutes the sin of bigotry or phobia. It seems the true target isn’t acceptance of the rainbow crowd but the prescription of the historic Christian faith and those brave enough to live it and proclaim it.

But that is not the subject here. The subject is, “why did audiences turn away from a movie depicting something most people in most polls embrace as perfectly normal and that an evolved society should celebrate?”

Perhaps this movie is just bad, though it has a high audience score, or perhaps, as noted, more people are secretly against the radical normalization and forced acceptance of the rainbow alphabet crew than they would ever admit in public.

We have gone from tolerance in the name of the basic human right to choose your own way with God alone as judge, to forced acceptance. Beyond even that we now have forced rejection of the historical orthodoxy of the Christian faith and traditions on pain of being canceled.

Perhaps there is a quiet groundswell that is saying, “enough is enough!” Or maybe it’s just a bad movie.
