As LGBTQ representation evolves onscreen, films like I Don’t Understand You understand the universal truth that it’s impossible to support gay rights without supporting gay wrongs.

David Joseph Craig and Brian Crano , the husbands and writing/directing duo behind the dark comedy horror now in theaters, spoke to Deadline about the importance of writing “queer characters not just being labeled as queer” in their semi-autobiographical about a gay couple on a nightmare vacation in Italy while preparing to adopt a baby.

“There are a lot of different steps in emotions in a queer person, and I think we should see more of them,” said Craig. “We’re just excited to put a movie out there that shows queer characters, and also birth mothers, as real and great people.”
