There’s a stereotype of bitchy gay people who tear everyone around them down just to make themselves feel better and try to get people to ignore their own deficiencies. Unfortunately it’s a stereotype that many of us are well aware is grounded in some truth, usually coming from the more myopic and insecure wing of the gay community (and many more of us on certain occasions).
Now a new short film has arrived which skewers the trash talkers, The Disgustings, starring the wonderful Drew Droege alongside writer/director/star Jordan Firstman.
Talking to Huffpo, Firstman says, “I had been friends with Drew since I moved to L.A. and we’ve been in so many situations where we’ve seen the true definition of garbage people saying and doing horrible things. I think we have a power where we just attract crazy people. So I decided to write about it. And to be honest — sometimes we were the horrible people. Not all the time, but sometimes. So I wrote it as an homage to the crazies and an apology on behalf of the worst parts of my personality.”
You can take a look at the short below.
