Don't kiss a closet homophobe!

Warning: Spoilers
This movie was pretty good with a good message about positivity when they showed you Lorenzo, one of the main characters. He's gay and he accepts it and doesn't let anybody bring him down. Then they showed you the other main character, Blu. A good and loyal friend who knows to have fun. But then when they showed you the last main character, you'll know something's not right. Enter Antonio, the straight, closet homophobic boy who's pining for Blu. The first time they showed you that the three teenagers becoming friends, you're gonna have a bad feeling in your gut. Why? Because before that, they showed you how Lorenzo is smitten with Antonio. And after halfway through the movie, they neglected human decency by showing how Lorenzo doesn't know the meaning of personal boundaries. He touched Antonio the wrong way when he already knew that he's straight and likes Blu. And then they showed how stupid Blu is that she can't differ consenting foursome and gang rape. And finally, they showed you how ugly Antonio really is on the inside. He's a closet homophobe. And last but not least, instead of dealing with matters like a normal person, he killed Lorenzo for kissing him. There's only one moral lesson to be drawn here : stop pining for straight boys! You'll end up in a ditch somewhere. This ending left a bad taste in my mouth, that's why I gave it 3 stars. Even if the film making's not bad, but the ending was horrible. That's a big no no to me.
