Wyatt's WorldSummer Reading—Into the WildFor more on Collection Development, click here Review
Chad Allen is eerily authentic as Mark, a coked-out gay hustler who always seems to get hustled himself. Mark tries Genesis House, a religious program for addicts that believes conversion therapy not only saves souls but also turns gays straight. Gayle (Judith Light) runs the ex-gay program with her husband, Ted (Stephen Lang). Both earnestly believe the power of Jesus’s love can change sexual orientation. Light, a frequent defender of GLBT rights, portrays the deeply religious Gayle with astonishing credibility, honesty, and sympathy. Robert Gant (Queer as Folk) fares less well as the Genesis resident who falls in love with Mark. Nobody gets bashed here. Who knew becoming a good Christian could make you a good same-sex partner? Extras include cast interviews, deleted scenes, and a resource guide. » » »
