If Valentine’s Day turns about to be a bit of a bummer this year , then here’s a romantic treat that will be available next day on February 15th. Queer As Folk star Peter Paige who is behind the camera these days, has created the perfect queer romance called The Thing About Harry. It stars gay actor Jake Borelli (Dr Levi Schmidt on Greys Anatomy) as Sam and equally hot newbie actor Niko Terho as Harry.
Sam embarks on a road trip from Chicago to attend an engagement party in his small hometown in Missouri, where he faced bullying for bravely coming out during high school. The catch is that he ends up having to take the trip with his high school nemesis Harry, a jock who’s about to be on the road to more self-discovery with Sam.
Naturally over the course of the trip and a night at a roadside motel, the men develop a bond that features the promise of becoming something else. Paige said: As young gay men in the ’90s, whenever a rom-com opened, we would watch the leading lady fall in love, and imagine what it would be like if the boy was saying all those things to another boy,” . We’ve always wanted to make a movie — an unabashedly romantic comedy — that queer boys wouldn’t have to translate. It’s rewarding to take the genre to a new, all-inclusive level.”
We can so relate to that.
The Thing About Harry is out on Feb. 15 on the Freeform Channel.
