thanks to katy (justawordshaker) for this warning! she says…
There’s a v* scene close to the end on an airplane. It's pretty easy to spot. Bruce (the blond) is talking about taking his boyfriend back to see his mother one more time. It flashes back to when they’re on an airplane and he talks about how Albert just “loses it” and doesn’t know who he is or why they’re on the plane. When he manages to get Albert to sit down, Albert v*s.
There’s a scene where Bruce is drunk and throws up in the bathroom. I can’t remember if you see any v*, but I am pretty sure it is right at a scene change. Ned and Bruce were drinking beforehand and it’s probably about halfway through the film, more towards the beginning. That one isn’t as easy to spot and I can’t remember what preceded it as well. I know that Ned was out with Bruce, but I can’t remember scene specifics.
But I am pretty sure that’s it as far as v* goes.

People aren’t kind about the Doctor in her wheelchair, and there’s a lot of systemic ableism wrapped up in how the HIV/AIDs patients are treated as well as the homophobia
