First off, there's a few bad reviews on this movie simply because it's a musical. You signed up to watch a musical without liking musicals? That's a recipe for disappointment.
Secondly, I thought they did a great job touching all the very scary and very real problems that people (especially kids/teens) struggle with in the LGBTQ+ community.
And lastly, the bit about cherry picking the Bible is something I've been saying for years. The Bible isn't a choose your own adventure story, if you think so I think you're missing the point. Love. Thy. Neighbor. Above. All.
