- These Things Take Time: Pre-teen Zander (Zackary Arthur)
falls in love with his male teacher (Jason Heymann) and makes a mess
out of dealing with his feelings ...
- The Legend of Scotty Watts: Julian (Luke Brau) and Marcy
(Morgan Price) bond over their adoration for musician Scotty Watts
(Avery Powers), who Julian never misses a single show of. But while
Marcy sees Scotty more as a guy whose music she likes, and is
gradually falling in love with Julian, he's totally obsessed with
Scotty, to an extent that's hurtful to Marcy ...
- Two Fish: Max (Aurelio de Anda jr) and Taylor (Jeremy Howard)
have been best friends for years, and have always identified as
heterosexual - until one evening they end up having sex with one
another - which above all is confusing as heck for them ...
- You Can Play: It's the last game of the season for high
school footbal crack Brandon (Kellan Rhude), and upon winning a
transfer to Florida is definitely in the cards - when he starts to
have second thoughts, especially when he realizes the feelings for his
best friend James (Carson Boatman) are more than just friendship ...
- I Think I'm Gay?: Zach (Miles Tagtmeyer) can't get it up in
bed with Amy (Rebecca Goldstein), and she teases him that he might be
gay - and as a consequence he tries out the "gay lifestyle"
...
- Out of Character: Billy (Wilson Cruz) befriends Paul (Jason
Caceres), the very guy who has made it a habit to spy on him having
meaningless sex with random men on scrapyards ...

An anthology about coming to terms with one's own sexual orientation -
and also about so much more, about love, loyalty, honesty, sexuality, and
in a way about life itself, told in six segments that vary vastly in style
and approach but all send out a positive message about being true to
oneself. And true, not all stories are equally compelling, equally
entertaining, or equally stringent - but it's really the diversity that
makes this movie such an enjoyable ride that makes one think on the side.
