Los Angeles City Council President Pro Tempore Mitch O’Farrell, 13th District, an openly gay elected official, introduced a resolution declaring Sept. 30 as “Bros Day” in the city of Los Angeles, in recognition of the trailblazing LGBTQ+ film being released. “Bros” is the first gay romantic comedy from a major movie studio, and the first major studio film to feature an allLGBTQ+ principal cast.

“Representation matters, and as a proud openly gay man, I’m excited and encouraged to mark this milestone,” O’Farrell said. “Even though the LGBTQ+ community has made so much progress in recent years, we know that we must not take any of it for granted, and there are still forces at work that want to set us back. It’s incredibly important that that queer people see themselves widely represented in our arts and culture. The release of ‘Bros’ is a milestone in cinematic history, and an affirmation that LGBTQ+ people, and our relationships, should be celebrated.”
