SHORTBUS
RYAN: They&#;re saying it&#;s the most talked about lgbtq+ film since &#;Brokeback Mountain.&#; It&#;s &#;Shortbus,&#; directed by John Cameron Mitchell who directed &#;Hedwig and the Angry Inch.&#;
CAROLINE: He was, in fact, Hedwig.
RYAN: Absolutely.
CAROLINE: Now, true confession – I didn&#;t see &#;Shortbus,&#; but I thought the gist of it was that they were having real sex in the movie. Why is it a gay movie?

There’s nothing titillating about this scene; the utter joylessness of his orgasm is bleak and unsettling.
Shortbus is a comedy-drama about a disparate collective of emotionally and sexually repressed New Yorkers, including James, his boyfriend, their voyeuristic gay neighbour and a sex therapist who doesn’t enjoy sex, who assemble with each other in the liberated environment of a Brooklyn-based alternative club called Shortbus (after the small yellow bus used to take special-ed children to school in the States). When it hit mainstream cinemas in the reaction to the film’s scenes of real sex was predictable. Time Magazine called it ‘the first middle-class porno
