I dont know why all gay romantic movies end up with sad endings. There's another "romantic" movie where one of them ends up killing the other with a knife and running away because he was afraid of homosexuality.
For this one, even though someone already told me it had a happy ending, i was still thinking they were not going to end up together
The bury your gays trope does seem to be dying out now and there are more and more positive/normal representations but you can still catch it. Brokeback Mountain was a classic example of it, but that's quite old now.
Such a classic! I need to rewatch it because I don't think I let it sink in enough the first time. My other favorites are Brokeback Mountain, Maurice, and My Own Private Idaho.

Have you heard of the bury your gays trope? It's a pretty common theme with queer characters dying but it's getting better.

No, this is the first time i heard about that.
Another movie that I really like is free fall. Not sure if you have watched but spoiler alert:

No I've not seen that I'll check it out!

Yup, these all sound like major improvements to me, most of all the happy ending. I found Brokeback to be a total downer
Will look out for this
