Please, someone explain to me what "bromance" means.

Well, I think bromances are designed to be ambiguous that way. If you're queer and looking for representation in pop culture, you can read them as queer; if you're not inclined that way, you can read them as gen. My bitterness comes from the fact that this seems to be as far as most pop culture is willing to go these days, because it lets them have their cake and eat it, too (both their queer viewers and their homophobic ones, who wouldn't watch if the relationship was actually queer). But I'm pretty over their fence-sitting and queer-baiting.
