Description

Taking that first big step into gaydom can be a wonderful and very trying experience. These four shorts look at just what that important first kiss can mean. In BIRTHDAY TIME Christopher is three days away from his 18th birthday and he's determined to get his first gay kiss before then. His target? Mom's married-with-children and closed best friend Tom. HE BOP! looks back on how teenager Ryan Walker, guided by the spirit of his eccentric grandmother (Mink Stole), struggles to find his gay identity. CRUSH, 12-year-old Tina is infatuated with 16-year-old Robbie. Bonding over TV and bubblegum music, they become best friends; however, unbeknownst to Tina, Robbie has developed a crush of his own. Set in a small Texas town in 1986, SOMETHING CLOSE TO HEAVEN is the story of a boy's struggle with his sexual awakening, helped by a special imaginary friend living in his backyard.
