My Best Friend’s Wedding & The Object of My Affection

Click here to send us a message!

We’re continuing our look back at 90’s queer films made for straight audiences with My Best Friend’s Wedding and The Object of My Affection! Both of these films feature early portrayals of the gay best friend trope, setting  queer male characters as romantic leads for...straight women. While that’s one reading of My Best Friend’s Wedding, the Object of My Affection actually doubles down and gives the pair an almost-sex scene! Join us as we talk about casting representation, gay best friends and much more!
