In the fall of 1975, at the University of Saskatchewan, Doug Wilson placed an ad in the students’ newspaper, seeking to start a campus gay group. This seemingly benign action would serve as the catalyst for a dramatic unfolding of events, shaping the future of Wilson’s life, and also marked a turning point in the gay movement on the prairies and all over Canada. This imaginative biographical docudrama is a true tale of his activism and achievements, his poetry, performance, and politics, his love and his life.
Love! Valour! Compassion!

Gregory invites seven friends to spend the summer at his large, secluded 19th-century home in upstate New York. The seven are: Bobby, Gregory’s “significant other,” who is blind but who loves to explore the home’s garden using his sense of touch; Art and Perry, two “yuppies” who drive a Volvo and who celebrate their 14th anniversary together that summer; John, a dour expatriate Briton who loathes his twin brother James; Ramon, John’s “companion,” who is physically attracted to Bobby and immediately tries to seduce the blind man; James, a cheerful soul who is in the advanced stages of AIDS; and Buzz, a fan of traditional Broadway musicals who is dealing with his own HIV-positive status.
