Synopsis |
From the producers of the
award-winning Last Call at Maud's,
comes this ground breaking
exploration of the gender gap
between gays and lesbians.
Politically united against global
homophobia, they are poles apart on
many life issues. Oddly enough,
their struggle of male versus female
mirrors many traditional conflicts
inherent to straight relationships.
The gay and lesbian community is not
immune to gender conditioning. Here
is the classic battle of the sexes
from a totally new perspective,
leavened with humor.
The film looks at the issues around
male domination versus female
submission; promiscuousness versus
commitment; exaltation of the body
versus the spirit; AIDS versus
breast cancer support. We hear about
the subtle chauvinism by gay
activists who excluded lesbians from
their political and social life,
especially in the conformist 1950's.
Now, however, both sides seem
willing to discuss these differences
openly. |
