It isn't hard to get rough-and-tumble boys to show their scars. But then to get the same boys to talk about what gets their Peckers Rising? Well, Texan filmmaker Heyd Fontenot got just that, and much more, too. These boys don't seem to have any trouble getting it up for the camera.

In 1991 Cheryl Summerville, a cook in a Cracker Barrel restaurant in suburban Atlanta, received a termination paper stating that she was fired for "failing to demonstrate normal heterosexual values." She was shocked to discover that in 47 American states, including her own, it was legal to fire workers simply for being homosexual. Out at Work chronicles the dramatic stories of three gay workers over the course of five years, all of whom have faced extreme workplace discrimination: Cheryl Summerville, Detroit auto worker Ron Woods, and New York Public Library clerk Nat Keitt. This powerful documentary follows these three courageous individuals through their collective fight to secure workplace safety, job security and employee benefits for gay and lesbian workers. The film also illustrates the struggles of heterosexual co-workers to deal with and ultimately support their gay and lesbian peers. In a moving, profound and entertaining style, Out at Work raises critical issues about workplace rights, legislation and labor unions, and ultimately sounds a clarion call for human rights for all.
