Okay...so GLAAD mentioned it in their annual report.
We have decided not to...we walked out after 2 minutes.
When the title is shit...the rest follows suit.

The(ir) Blurb...
When Lou finds himself in trouble, Nick and Jacob fire up the hot tub time machine in an attempt to get back to the past. But they inadvertently land in the future with Adam Jr. Now they have to alter the future in order to save the past - which is really the present.
Hot Tub Time Machine 2 included a painfully long gag steeped in gay panic. The men visit the future and find themselves on the set of hit game show Choozy Doozy, where contestant Nick must complete a task voted on by the audience. Lou, without realizing that whoever suggests the task must also participate, yells out that Nick should be forced to have virtual reality sex with a man. The two spend a few minutes expressing disgust and discomfort at the idea before the host electro-shocks them into complying. At the last second, Lou uses a lifeline to switch places with Adam Jr., and the scene proceeds off-camera with Adam screaming in pain and his fiancé watching from home. When the men balk, the film tries to make it seem as if it is in on the joke with the host asking, “What’s the big deal with the two of you guys sleeping together? You’re acting like it’s 2010.” But the fact that the scene is clearly a moment meant to give the audience some cheap homophobic chuckles rather than anything related to the story or character development makes it clear that the film’s creators still find the idea of two men together to be hilarious and strange.
All we have to say is...more fool you for sitting through this garbage!
