Two characters are in a relationship in which they don't agree on the openness of it. One is shown flirting with another man in a bar, and later having sex with another man (though it is a flashback, they were still in a relationship at the time). His sleeping with other people is mentioned multiple times.

A character announces they're going to be sick. A few moments later, he barges into a bathroom to vomit. We don't see anything, but hear a bit of it.

Harold's dialogue near the beginning alludes to it and possible disordered eating.

No, but there is a heavy amount of dialogue regarding a character's saving of pills for a potential future s*icide attempt. Another character tells him he won't "have the guts" to kill himself, which isn't entirely related but I felt I should add it as it was very triggering for me.

There is, however, a tense scene where someone describes overdosing and picks at a character about the possibility of them potentially committing suicide by overdose.

Yes and no- some gay men refer to each other as “she” then corrects this to “he” because a straight homophobe is around. So not misgendering in the transphobic sense.

Primarily used in a joking manner by gay men, there is one scene where slurs are used in anger accompanied by violence.
