Why would anyone be surprised by this? I don't give a shit if they want to make a movie about gay dudes. I'm not interested in seeing it. Most other people probably wouldn't either.
By their own fucking "intersectional" logic, people need to feel "representation" to enjoy something, so if they're not "representing" 98%+ of the market, you shouldn't expect much of the market to want to see it.
That said, I'm glad it looks like it's going to completely bomb. Somehow I hadn't even heard about this one, but it looks like it got all the usual "stunning and brave" and "breaking barriers" nonsense critic talking points, so IMO it deserves every penny it loses.
