Being fabulous takes real grit. In a world that has a limited definition of what it means to be a man, it’s not always easy to be true to yourself. These films provide an amusing look at the ups and downs of letting your freak flag fly—or the awkward and hilarious mess of trying to hide it! Glitter & Guts, Total: 81 minutes Heart of the Matter (Tom Lenk, USA, 2008): Husband and wife marriage counseling team, Terry and Sheila, demonstrate how to strengthen marital vows and sexual intimacy, while noticeably in complete denial of their own sexual qualms. Slut the Musical (Tonnette Stanford, Australia, 2010): An outrageous musical story of one boy’s triumph over his fear of telling his peers about his sexuality. Get Out! Of the Closet! (Travis Johns, USA, 2010): A reality TV parody about a host who travels the country liberating every Closet Case she spots, and she’s usually right! Usually. Drama Queenz (Dane Joseph, USA, 2010): A comedy about three actors and roommates living in Queens dealing with life, love and auditioning in New York City. Gayby (Jonathan Lisecki, USA, 2010): Two single friends decide to make a baby, the cheapest way possible: the old-fashioned way. But since the guy is a gay, hilarious awkwardness ensues. Go Go Reject (Michael Saul, USA, 2010): A skinny, naive go-go dancer meets with unexpected rejection when he attempts to fulfill his childhood Flashdance fantasy.
