Everybody is sure to be affected by this gripping and heartfelt series of interviews of gay youth living in Salt Lake City to Lawton, Oklahoma, from Scottsbluff, Nebraska to Wilmington, Delaware. JIM IN BOLD parallels the poetic and artistic work of Jim Wheeler as it explores the struggles of coming out, dealing with sexuality and homophobia. JIM IN BOLD shows that homophobia can kill. The harsh reality of Jimmy Wheeler's abuse is a sober reminder of the destructive power of hate and prejudice.
