In celebration of Merry & Gay’s release, Motion picture Obsessive sat down with director Christin Baker, as good as Dia Frampton and Andi Rene Christensen, the film’s two leads.
Merry & Gay focuses on the reunion of two high university sweethearts, Sam (Christensen) and Becca (Frampton).

Sam’s and Becca’s moms (Hayat Nesheiwat and Janet Ivey) see Becca’s come back for the holiday season as an opportunity to transport their kids support together.
Music plays a major role in this film because of Becca’s career on Broadway. Frampton herself is no stranger to the world of melody. She’s in a band with her sister, Meg & Dia, and was the runner-up on the inaugural season of The Voice. In Merry & Gay, Frampton shows off her singing cho

Merry and Lgbtq+ plays much like a Hallmark-style movie &#; a genre that is certainly not for everyone, but if you do love such movies, this one will certainly appeal to you. However, it showcases a number of alternative factors that are far too often underrepresented. As evidenced by the recent controversy surrounding Candace Cameron Bure and Hallmark, it is ever apparent that despite the progress made for LGBT+ rep

'Merry & Gay': A smart and heartfelt LGBTQ Christmas venture
One of the latest films that I got to review was a little film entitled Merry & Gay. The film centers around two young women, Becca and Sam, who were once tall school sweethearts. Ever since the two parted ways, Sam has lead a reserved life functional mostly as a bartender.

Nevertheless, the film proves to be a jovial and triumphant step forward for couples in the LGBTQ movement. It shares a certain kinship with forbidden love and recapturing the magic that made you collapse in love with your partner.
