Stock your cupboards and prepare for Y2GAY.

A hilarious new short film from Australia documents the manic efforts of a hobbit-like homophobe as he prepares for the coming of “Y2GAY” in a bunker stocked with “straight nonperishables” and Ricky Martin DVDs. His wife is less than enthusiastic about her husband’s obsession.

The film was a finalist in Australia’s Tropfest, the
