Straight

 
 A side-splitting and brilliant skewering of the "ex-gay" movement by David Schmader in a one-man show filmed live.

"Watching ex-gays play football is like watching a dachshund swim."

This brilliant gay storyteller and journalist tells of his experiences with the "ex-gay" movement. Not content to write an expose like most journalists, Schmader goes underground, not only to meetings, but also on a weekend retreat. He meets "ex-gays and "never-gays" in his quest for knowlege and the perfect punchline.

Filmed live in front of an audience at the CoHoTheater in Portland, Oregon and released by the great new Stage Direct, Schmader will make you laugh, think and maybe cry. The stage is fairly bare - there is a table with a few glasses of water, a chair, a bench, an oriental rug and a picture of Cher.
