I don't know, maybe I'm going out on a limb here, but might this movie be good for the gays-that it demonstrates that we as a country have grown, and that homophobia isn't as prevelant or threatening among most Americans. You are sort of assuming SBC's motives for making this movie... maybe he just wanted to be as outrageous as possible, and as awkward.
I can't say I find him terribly funny, but awkward humor isn't my thing. I was told over and over how brillant "The Office" is, but I just cannot make it through the first few, extremely awkward and stiff episodes.
