Dreaming of living in a queer Leave It to Beaverstyle
household and playing Maria in West
Side Story, Tru escapes being in staid Agoura
Hills, the San Francisco – not! While dodging
football thugs, and Paris and Nicole clones, Tru
is astounded when cutie patootie quarterback
Lodell comes a-courtin’. Alas, Tru soon discovers
she is merely Katie Holmes to his Tom Cruise
– but reluctantly continues to be his tight-end.
Attempting to resolve her private reality with her
queer-positive principles, Tru co-founds a Gay-
Straight Alliance group – where she meets hottie
hetero hunk, Trevor. Complications ensue, and
one queer wedding (and no funerals) later, Tru’s
path to true love is anything but straight…
Stewart Wade scores a touchdown in this
distractingly star-studded feature! A snappy
script peppered with catchy emo-indie songs,
Tru Loved entertains and inspires with campy
characters and cameos from Jasmine Guy (in
a truly Different World!), David Kopay, Jane
Lynch (The L Word), Nichelle Nichols (Lt. Uhura
of Star Trek), Bruce Villanch and Baywatch
alumnus, Alexandra Paul. Tru Loved tackles great
expectations, homophobia and interracial dating
– and the importance of being yourself. [-]

Can a newly-wed avoid being tempted by a
guileless waiter at his own civil union? Does that
full-lipped young prodigy escape his schoolyard
tormentors? Is that doting, well-hung hunk
really a closet gay basher? Will a politician come
forward to bear witness to shocking violence?
Will a smoking teen predator eventually become
the prey? Five Altman-esque vignettes knit
themselves into a penetrating and provocative
portrait of British queerdom.
A BBC commissioned piece commemorating
the 40th anniversary of the decriminalisation
of homosexuality in England, director Adrian
Shergold and theatre wunderkind Kevin Elyot
revel in dry wit and wet willies in a full-frontal
review of contemporary political and sexual
mores. A studly cast headlined by Maurice
stalwarts Rupert Graves and James Wilby,
Clapham Junction ignited controversy and
outrage for relying on gay and straight clichés to
create a hard-hitting and haunting examination
of homophobia. Inspired by the horrific murder of
24-year-old Jody Dobrowski in 2005, Clapham
Junction is a sobering reminder that the price of
gay liberation is eternal vigilance. [-]

An intimate and unflinching look at life in Iran,
seen through the lens of those living at its
fringes, Be Like Others is a provocative look at a
generation of young men and women choosing
to undergo sex change surgery. In Iran, according
to Islamic law, homosexuality is punishable
by death. Ironically, sex-change operations are
not only legal; they are embraced by a society
that accepts male or female but nothing in
between.
With Dr. Mehrjalali’s sex-change clinic as
the arena, director Tanaz Eshaghian finds her
subjects among some of the kind, progressive
doc’s patients. Perhaps most interesting is
20-year-old Anoosh, who becomes a woman
named Anahita, alienating her gay boyfriend Ali.
Twenty-four-year-old Ali finds some support from
Vida, who’s had her operation and adjusted. The
very issue of why Iran’s Islamic laws compel
such drastic manoeuvres and adjustments on the
part of gay men runs under every scene, making
the film a model of non-dogmatic filmmaking on
a highly charged topic. [-]

“Are you part of the human race if you’re neither
a man nor a woman?” This question opens the
film L’ordre des mots, an intelligent exploration
of the world of transsexuality, intersexuality
and trans identity. At a time when these issues
draw more and more attention in the medical
community, LGBT movements and in the media,
this documentary, created by cousins Cynthia
and Melissa Arra, sets a welcome stepping stone
between the two extremes of the sacrosanct
Through interviews with six transgender and
intersex people, L’ordre des mots relates the
often-difficult personal stories of people who’ve
led complex lives. The documentary takes a
critical look at the arbitrary medical protocols
employed in France and provides an overview
of the work being done by the transgender
movements that, in addition to denouncing the
oppression and repression aimed at transgender
and intersex people, demand that people
speak out against the psychiatric and medical
discourse that treats transsexuality as an illness.
An inspiring and up-to-the-moment work about
our relationship to the concept of identity. [-]

Jess (Hannah Hogan) is a suburban twentysomething
in a bind. She’s married to Trevor
(Shaughnessy Redden), and falling in love with
Casey (Tracey Rae), a woman with whom she’s
begun a torrid affair. Jess’s nice-guy husband
wants to start a family, while Casey wants Jess
to come out of the closet and move in with her.
Jess’s childhood was filled with threats from
her mother about the evils of lesbianism. She’s
obsessed with the idea of having a “normal”
family, and terrified of facing her deep-rooted
desires. Living in a town that seems to have
more than its share of homophobes reinforces
Jess’s fears, despite the open-armed welcome
she receives from the queer community. Jess is
damned if she does, and damned if she doesn’t.
No matter what, someone’s bound to get hurt.
When she learns that she’s pregnant and her
affair is revealed, everyone must figure out how
to live with the consequences of Jess’s choices.
Juicy lesbian drama reigns in this coming out
story with a twist. [-]

A charming gaybourhood comes under assault
from Victor (Pablo Puyol, 20 Centimetros), a
real-estate psychopath. Meanwhile, a rash of
apparent suicides by elderly women in the area
attracts the attention of an unusual detective
team: Full-time phobia queen Mila (Rosa María
Sardá, Todo Sobre Mi Madre) and son Luis
(Eduardo Soto). Leonardo and Rey, an adorable
bear-cub, blue-collar couple with relationship
troubles, face mounting pressure from Victor to
sell a flat Rey has recently inherited from his
deceased neighbour. Making things worse, Rey
insists that his malicious and meddling mother,
Antonia (Spanish grande dame, Concha Velasco)
move in. Amidst the mayhem and mishaps in
Madrid, a serial killer sets his sights on Antonia,
and Victor eventually may emerge victorious…
Juan Flahn’s madcap suspense movie
inadvertently tackles ageism and “A-Gays”, class
and clone wars, gentrification and guppies, and
materialism and misogyny. Chuecatown offers
full-frontal fun about gay men being their own
worst enemies in this queer screwball tribute to
Almodóvar, Oristrell and Salazar. [-]
