India (Joe Lia) is a young
gay man who has only been in West Hollywood for a short time, living on the street
and making money shooting gay porn. He's angry at the straight world, but one
night when gay bashers come after him, a tall black drag queen named Destiny (Allan
Louis) appears out of the dark to save him. India takes sanctuary at Destiny's
apartment along with Lester (Tera Greene), a young lesbian who works as an auto
mechanic and binds her chest. She seems to want to pass as a boy and laments that
she can't go shirtless. The three support each other in an alternative family,
noting that since so many queers are kicked out by biological families, creating
our own family structures is very important. Soon Spencer (Lance Lee Davis), one
of India's boyfriends who has suffered from homophobic abuse, joins the group.
They set out to prove that bashers are secretly queer, and one of the former bashers
moves in as well. Much of the film includes sexy love scenes with India
and his latest, while Destiny and his friends patrol, keeping the streets safe
from straights. Lester is really just a cardboard afterthought in the cast, with
most of the plot and action centering on shirtless boys. Destiny is a pleasure,
but poor acting and a script with politicized, unnatural dialog make this one
to miss (unless you're watching for the guy-guy sex scenes). |
