The film drops at a time in the United States when the re-ascension of Donald Trump to the presidency has some LGBTQ+ folks, again targets under Project 2025, considering expat status. Though unlike when Burroughs wrote Queer while awaiting trial for killing his wife in a botched game of William Tell, queer sex is discussed more openly and mostly free of pathos among LGBTQ+ people nowadays.
Burroughs was a very complicated, messy, kind of wonderful artist writer and who was married and went through all sorts of [experiences], was a junkie, and represented queerness at a time when it was illegal, when it was all of these things.
