I need to see this film and I hope others see it and open their eyes. We are all complex complicated human beings---why do we have to judge each other? How brave these men were to share their complex realities. Such a shame that they have to hide.

I love the raw honesty of this preview. I have lived and traveled all over the US and know that segregration, racism, and social issues persist in all facets of our society. I can not wait to see this film.

Coming from San Francisco, I am constantly amazed at the myriad of sexualities that everyone swings in and out of, and I can only imagine (having grown up in the Midwest), the fear of minorities living double-lives. The opression, the unchartered territory. I'm definitely going to see this film if it comes West.
