I worked at a movie theater and over time we had 2 different types of devices. The first was the one you mention that fits in the cupholder, but the second one which I think was better were a pair of glasses you wore where the movie captions would appear on the lenses. Much less awkward and easier to watch the movie and read the captions simultaneously.

They can be anything anyone wants them to be. Being sick of watching gay characters suffer doesn't equal me saying gay characters can't be something. I'm expressing an opinion about this particular movie.

This comment contains spoilers: It was well acted and the direction was good but the premise, in my opinion, was bullshit. Enough with the gays getting bashed (in the flashback), rejected by their parents, tied up, made to observe people murdering each other, etc. It's an old trope that making gays suffer in film humanizes them to straight audiences, who then magically overcome their homophobia. I'm so over it. I get that gay visibility is good I'm just not into watching them suffer and die a noble death to save humanity.
