He's got a great job, his boyfriend has a perfect penis and his cerebral palsy is nothing more than a charming quirk. He's living the gay dream. Actually, Elliott's life is kind of falling apart. His boss is hateful, he can't seem to stop cheating on his boyfriend and his cerebral palsy makes him feel like gay Shrek. Dream? More like a nightmare.
