177. Can movies be homophobic? I'd say no - audiences and
movie makers can, though. Some movies - like Boys in the Band - have gone from being considered pro gay to being considered homophobic.

Queer Eye is considered pro gay AND considered homophobic - even by gay people.

Half the equation may be in the intent of the producer - but the other half, at least, is in the eyes of the viewer.
