"Despite outstanding reviews, high Rotten Tomatoes and CinemaScore scores, straight people didn't show up for Bros. Unfortunately, that's the reality we live in, Eichner, 44, wrote.

"Everyone who ISN'T a homophobic weirdo should go see BROS tonight!" said the "Billy on the Street" performer.

Enjoy yourselves! Seeing this narrative on a huge screen is special and profound, especially for LGBT people who don't get this chance often. This film is great. Go Bros!

Eichner insists fans love the movie, which stars Luke Macfarlane, Ts Madison, and Monica Raymund.

"Last night I slipped into a sold-out 'Bros' cinema in LA," he tweeted.

"The crowd laughed throughout, applauded at the end, and several wiped away tears as they left. Magical. Really. I'm PROUD of this film.”

The "Parks and Recreation" veteran joked to Page Six that he "f–ked" Macfarlane in real life and that the sex was "wonderful."
