Madagascar Skin (1995)

The movie has an otherworldly fantastical feel to it. The idea that gay males are so focused on appearances that no gay guy would get intimate with a man with a significant facial blemish seems a bit of an exaggeration. But this isn't the only unrealistic part of the film.

Major spoiler

Crazy crazy plot leads to a straight man deciding to be intimate with a gay man, seemingly out of loneliness, pity or friendship. But this is not just a one night stand. I'm guessing there might be some percentage of straight guys able to handle that, but it's somewhat akin to a gay man staying and having sex with his wife in a straight marriage after he's told her he's gay. The entire scenario would be impossible for me, but probably it's been done.
