"Sexuality today has evolved. It’s not about putting people in binary boxes like gay and straight. Sexuality is a spectrum and it's fluid," Phil (Joe Baken) explains to the elder Mrs. McGillicuddy (Jack Plotnick) in the new film
Mailman.
It's the premise of a musical number, "I'm Not Gay," shared exclusively with
The Advocate below, that includes, among other lines, "Name one thing in nature that is just this way or that. I can’t be gay because gay is old hat."
