LGBT Weekly interviews founder and CEO of Tello Films We know, we know. If you hear that we’re in the “Golden Age of Television” one more time, you’ll throw your Hi-Def, interactive, Bluetooth-enabled flat screen out the window.

But I was unnerved by how much of the humor was firmly based in homophobia. Officers Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) are such good friends that they had…
