I do agree that the title is a bit misleading but the hate is overplayed. This is a singular tale about a gay teen who was kicked out by an unforgiving father in the Midwest who sought refuge in NYC during the Christopher St./Stonewall riot era. It isn't a documentary or reenactment story akin to the British movie "Pride". Nonetheless, this is a gritty and emotional tale that pairs well with the gritty and emotional time and place for which it is titled. I don't find it insulting but I was born after the riots so I don't have skin in that particular inning of the game so to speak. Overall, I think this movie adds value to the pro LGBT+ message. If titles really matter that much and the goal is to get not so tolerant heterosexuals to watch films like this then just rename it to "A Nice Love Story That Involves Sports, the Big City, and Male Bonding". Then give it rave reviews and call it a day. All that aside, the casting was great, the reenactment of the period was great, and the message to me is universal which is..."Be Kind and Don't Propegate Hate". Jeremy Irving being super cute is just gravy.
