Featured review
This film is atrocious. It follows the exploits of Rory ' Panti Bliss' O'Neill, the self-proclaimed Nelson Mandela to the 'Yes' vote. Rory is well known in Ireland for running the most popular gay bar in the country as well as being known for his 'drag act'.
With a referendum in Ireland on the definition of marriage and if gay people would be protected too under this religious definition, Rory knew he had to stand up and make a quick profit. He dressed himself up and took himself to the streets of Dublin, where he would hijack marches and force himself to the front as to appear he had organised a people's movement.
Thanks to social media and good PR, Rory was successful in his exploits of a nation and his pub soon profited, as did he. He was no longer seen as a gay pub owner, he has somehow managed to launch him self as a somewhat political socialite who would make appearance after appearance on RTÉ. Ultimately, Rory's plan had worked.
He thought that by being a drag queen, it gave him the right to represent every gay man in the country, when in fact he just managed to label them all as a stereotype further. Thankfully, Ireland has modern morales and passed the vote without needing Panti to leech from the campaign.
I highly recommended that you do not pay money to see this film. Do not watch it for free either. It is literally released to profit Rory's high life yet again. There are 100's of ways to promote and encourage LBGT. This man is not one of them.
