Bobby est un quadragénaire new-yorkais qui jouit pleinement de son statut de célibataire. Podcasteur spécialisé dans l'histoire et la culture gays, il est nommé à la tête d'un musée consacré à ces thèmes, dont l’ouverture prochaine l’occupe à temps plein. Sans compter ses aventures d’un soir qui, à ses yeux, comble amplement sa vie intime. Mais quand il rencontre Aaron, un avocat macho, Bobby commence à ressentir quelque chose de nouveau. Serait-ce de l'amour? Difficile à dire. D'autant plus que les deux hommes se voient comme des célibataires endurcis, incapables d’engagement.
A chronicle of gay culture in New York during the post-Stonewall, pre-AIDs era. Thirteen men and one woman look back at gay life and sex in Manhattan and Fire Island - from Stonewall (June, 1969) to the first reporting on AIDS (June, 1981). They describe the rapid move from repression to celebration, from the removal of shame to joy, the on-going search for "someone," the freedom before AIDS, the friendships, and brotherhood.
Over the course of a year, film follows Vancouver Pride Society president Ken Coolen to various international Pride events, including Poland, Hungary, Russia, Sri Lanka and others where there is great opposition to pride parades. In North America, Pride is complicated by commercialization and a sense that the festivals are turning away from their political roots toward tourism, party promotion and entertainment. Christie documents the ways larger, more mainstream Pride events have supported the global Pride movement and how human rights components are being added to more established events. In the New York sequence, leaders organize an alternative Pride parade, the Drag March, set up to protest the corporatization of New York Pride. A parade in São Paulo, the world's largest Pride festival, itself includes a completely empty float, meant to symbolize all those lost to HIV and to anti-gay violence.
