I’ve seen it and I don’t even remember anything promoting homosexuality, plenty of female empowerment but I don’t remember a gay focus anywhere. Was there a same sex couple as extras in a scene I didn’t notice? Probably, that doesn’t stand out to me though because I’m not a bigot

There was one gay couple and then gay icon Magic Earring Ken, but that’s it. I assume it’s just basic ‘woman stuff is gay’ that some men like to do.

Commented the same on another post, but I thought maybe it could be the whole beach off scene. Not agreeing with it, just trying to find a reasoning myself too
