Two summers ago, gay animated short In A Heartbeat went massively viral. In the four-minute short, "a closeted boy runs the risk of being outed by his own heart after it pops out of his chest to chase down the boy of his dreams." The adorable film currently has over 40 million views. 
In our favorite old gays' latest YouTube video, Bill Jessay, Robert, and Mick watch the viral video and things get emotional, to say the least! 
"It's very positive to see this kind of display for gay people coming out with a happy ending," they reflect. "Love is for everyone."

        Gay horror comedy ‘The Parenting’ is light scares but heavy on heart — and dick jokes

Is there anything more terrifying — and ripe for comedy — than a weekend away with you and your partner’s parents? Only one thing that could make that pressure cooker more intense: A demon, of course. Or so Kent Sublette, writer of HBO’s new queer horror comedy The Parenting believes. 
The film, which is now streaming on HBO Max, follows gay couple Rohan (Nik Dodani) and Josh (Brandon Flynn) as they face this watershed moment in their relationship. The couple gathers their respective families up for a weekend in an idyllic cabin in the country where, unbeknownst to Josh, Rohan is also planning to pop the question. Not intense enough? It just so happens that the house is already occupied, by a 400-year-old demon and the ghosts of its previous victims.
