I feel like you're saying that without having seen the movie, as the movie has a lot of virtues that are not related to its fairly controversial bottom line.

The cinematography, script, directing and acting are all very good and, I expect, you'd see plenty of discussion about it if it were about a straight relationship based on those grounds than just because it happens to be based on a gay relationship.

If you didn't like the movie, that's your choice, but I think it's patently wrong to write off the attention this movie has gotten as only due to its controversy. There have been a lot of movies that did things with homosexual relationships or graphic depictions of straight relationships that only got buzz because of those elements. This movie, both from what I've read and from what I watched, is not one of those.
