In 1997's film "In & Out", Kevin Kline portrays an English professor at a high school, who is about to get married. But his world turns upside down when a former student makes a comment about his professor at the Academy Awards for the gay soldier role he played, which he said, he was inspired from his former high school "gay" teacher, while he was getting ready for his role.
His current students immediately start looking for signs that he's gay. -Oh, he likes musicals and literature, he is also a good dresser, and all the other stereotypical gay stuff. His fiancee starts to doubt him. The townspeople starts avoiding him. Even after a while he starts questioning himself. At some point he buys a cassette to learn how to be/act like a macho man. Some memorable quotes from the tape are; "Truly manly men do NOT dance", "Think about John Wayne, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Arnold doesn't dance, he can barely walk". All of these things gives us the stereotypical American ideas about masculinity, the American conservative understanding that says that "real men" don't like the arts or literature. It emphasizes the masculinity that limits men’s interest to musics, dancing, television and such.
The problem with stereotype films like this one for instance, people will imagine gays are like that, who likes to Barbara Streisand, Shakespeare, or even dancing. So as a result if you like those kind of things you HAVE to be "gay"? Even though this film suppose to support gays, but in actuality it may do more harm than good.
