“My brother really opened doors for a lot of people,” Tramon says in the documentary. “Yeah, he opened a door for me. What I mean by that, like, I’m not gay, though, you feel me? I’m bisexual. He helped me be real with myself. My brother made me more open to it.”
Tramon was nervous about how coming out would affect his life, but he felt inspired by his brother to be true to himself.
“If you f-ck with me, you f-ck with me,” he says in the film. “If you don’t, you don’t. Bye. Get out of my presence. I don’t need you.” He adds, “At the end of the day, people are going to f-ck with who they f-ck with, so stop trying to chase a friend. A friend is going to always be there.”
The premiere of the documentary was actually delayed by a bomb threat reportedly motivated by homophobia and racism.
