Exploring what it means to be a gay man, the film follows the shift from the 1970s Castro scene to today’s Bears, gym‑rats, rodeo riders, rugby players and police officers. In candid interviews participants discuss homophobia, metrosexuality and embracing effeminacy, challenging stereotypes and revealing gay masculinity in America.
