Mini Nerdcore: Dick, Butt, Gay (?) Sex in “What We Wished For”

We’re closing Pride Month with this tiny installment from Ilias Kyriazis. See you next year! Although I’m sure there will be more gay stuff between this post and June 2027. Teehee.

The blurb:

On the night a mysterious comet passes overhead, a group of kids encounter a supernatural being who promises to grant them one wish each, but they take too long and the comet passes. 35 years later, the comet returns…and their wishes begin to come true. What We Wished For is an extraordinary exploration of the sweeping concerns of our time-gender and sexuality, isolation, technology, power, polarization-filtered through a funhouse mirror of magical realism and experienced through deeply relatable characters whose desires, foibles, and failings are nothing compared to their heart-wrenching humanity.
