CGiii Comment

We city dwellers take it all for granted - a gay bar is just a short ride away.

The internet has helped the isolated - but, sometimes you just want to get out there and have a good time in real space - rather than skulking around in cyber...that physical need to rub shoulders with fellow men.

It's not so easy when you live in the back of beyond - as a few brave souls do - this is their story and told with an agreeable eye and ear.

Mr Ingram - you did well.

And...the poster is a classic.

The(ir) Blurb...

The lives of gays in the Deep South are explored in this documentary, which looks at two bars in rural Mississippi that cater to a homosexual clientele. "Rumors" is in all other ways a modest neighborhood hangout; "Crossroads" is an anything-goes establishment. Interviews with regular patrons portra… Morey both bars as islands of acceptance in an ocean of prejudice, exemplified by the derision of customers at nearby straight bars and the cutting homophobia of anti-gay preacher Fred Phelps.
