    @JoeyKnock I think it made a pretty conscious choice to avoid dwelling on any of the difficult side to gay life. Like: why doesn't the love interest ever spend Christmas with his family? The intended audience can guess the answer to that, but doesn't want to spend time with it.

      @JoeyKnock I mean, I think the larger problem here is that the Christmas romcom is an essentially conservative genre. The template this film is adapting is about women deciding to give up their careers & focus on what's important (raising a family).
