A handful of budding queer activists are mad as hell and not going to take it anymore in this comedy drama from filmmaker Everett Lewis. India (Joe Lia) is a handsome young runaway who has arrived in Los Angeles after fleeing the small Colorado town where he was born and raised. India is hoping that L.A. will be a more tolerant environment after anti-gay attitudes drove him away from his hometown, but he discovers that's not the case when he is soon forced to square off against a pair of homophobic goons. But India is fortunate enough to be rescued by Destiny (Allan Louis), a drag queen determined to make the world safe for sexual outsiders of all stripes. Traveling with a crew of men and women determined to live and love as they please, Destiny invites India to join him as they take on uptight and violent straights wherever they find them, eager to express affection as they wish without accepting the role of victim that many are eager to hang on them. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

From the description, it seemed to be at least interesting. It was really really bad. Really. It should be erased from movie history.

I began to feel I was watching a gay propaganda film produced as a weapon against conservative straights. It was so contrived as to be almost laughable. According to the film's philosophy everyone who "hates" gays is a closet case just waiting to be dragged out of the closet. I don't really recall seeing ONE positive straight role model in the film. Don't waste your time.

The film started out fairly stong and then as a friend of mine put it "turned out like a pornographic film without the x-rated parts". If you are a fan of queer cinema, then I would say watch it, but don't set your expectations too high. The movie has some interesting characters and story concepts, but overall was too over the top. I think the script could have used some polishing and focus before being filmed.
