“So I stayed up past midnight watching a random gay romcom on netflix...”
East of eden is also a lovely gay romcom and one of the leads is a Native American man if you want something less white
You’re thinking of Big Eden and I HAVE SEEN BIG EDEN. I LOVE Big Eden. I have, in fact, gone on to multiple friends about wanting a Steve/Tony AU of Big Eden. I don’t know that I’d classify it as a romcom, given that it’s pretty serious most of the time, so it’s more of a drama, but it has a happy ending and it is SO SWEET and I LOVE it. Pike is the ultimate sweetheart and I just want to give him endless hugs. Everyone go watch Big Eden PLEASE (it’s not on netflix though, sadly).
Big Eden is very sweet, realistic aside from the (wonderful and perfect) lack of homophobia in a small town, and a great feel good LGBT movie. The 10 Year Plan is more cheesy stupid RIDICULOUS romcom, but it’s also incredible. There is no fake dating but there is a plot line introduced early in the film that is a fake-dating flavor of riduculous fanfiction plot, and trust me by the 20 minute mark you’ll be screaming “JUST KISS ALREADY” in your head every few seconds. It’s great
