George, an Atlanta auto mechanic and self-appointed soldier of Christ, has embarked on a tortured quest to investigate lifestyles he regards as rejected by God. On the street, in clubs, and in private homes, his interviews with a wide range of people reveal their struggles to accept themselves and in so doing, begin to illuminate for George his own history and demons. As the interviews delve into the peoples pasts, Georges defenses against childhood memories begin to erode. And as his personality structure deteriorates, so do his personal relationships, even as his history of child abuse begins to emerge into consciousness. This drama of disintegration progresses through Georges failure to forge a lasting relationship and concludes with his shattering understanding that he has rejected himself.

Interesting subject beats me how you got around to unobtrusively bring on the perceptions and feelings of the characters. I was hoping to see you delve deeper into the psychological aspects of gayism. But George was sure it's a DNA defect and he was more inclined to know the how. Greatly admire your efforts.

The perfect length scenes had interesting dialogue and the awkward actions of real characters kept me watching. What a great documentary on the sad and painful side of being gay and the equally sad side of being an angry conservative amongst liberals. George, with his arrested development, struggles to make sense of the world and contain his fury that no one loves him. However his rejection of the gay world around him reveals more about him than those he would reject. Brilliantly done!

I enjyd ths work tremndsly ..all aspects & angles of issues surrndng being Gay are covred, it is brilliant dialogue & not appearantly scripted.. I enjoyed all the characters esp. Viva, Geo's mom, and the belly dancers, the film moves well but for one segment shortly after the pink wig scenes but soon picks up again, sometimes geo's voice irritated my ears, he is perfect to represent the unenlightened. loved the after credit vegnette, a show could be made just about their ongoing relationship..
