The cast of Bros Bros gathered in Los Angeles to celebrate the premiere of the groundbreaking new gay romantic comedy.
Billy Eichner who co-wrote and stars in the film opened up about what he was most proud of (spoiler alert, that it was very gay both in the story and in the casting). 

    

Guy Branum dripping in florals joked about the vibe on the set and got real about his feelings about the upcoming film, The Whale. 
Also hitting the red carpet were Jai Rodriguez, D.J ‘Shangela’ Pierce, Amanda Bearse, Judd Apatow, and more all singing their praises of the comedy.
