Hey everyone, welcome to the Council of Trend Podcast.

0:12.3

I'm your host, Catholic Answers Apologist and Speaker, Trent Horn.

0:15.6

Today, I'm going to react to a trailer for an upcoming gay romantic comedy called Bros.

0:21.7

So as the title suggests, instead of a man and a woman in the lead roles, it's two men.

0:25.9

It's being hailed as its groundbreaking first ever gay romantic comedy.

0:30.2

I think Judd Apatow, who produced a 40-year-old virgin, knocked up, you know, those films is behind this film.

1:49.6

1:52.0

I think the people that we as Christians, we should reach out to everyone, obviously.

1:57.6

But I think we should not forget about those people in the mushy middle, those people who are ambivalent, who are keeping their heads down, because they just don't want to get in trouble.
