Small Town Gay Bar

A great depiction of small town life & one of the few shining examples I have ever seen of the LGBT community pulling and working TOGETHER ! I would hope the filmmaker would think about doing a follow up for all the people depicted and what is going on there today.. For anyone in a small town, you probably live this life... But for those of us who are actually in a larger city and have access to several bars and LGBT friendly places, this should be a "must watch" video. We as a community have grown complacent and those who complain you only have the same old tired bars to go to, this film let's you know how lucky you are to have more than one! So glad I bought this film... Done in a True documentary style , it seems obvious the film maker didnt have a huge budget to work with. But that is not the issue. It is the story that counts, so don't be expecting a Hollywood blockbuster. Get your big city friends to come over one night and have a LGBT movie night with this film. Then put on Sordid Lives!

This is a great documentary that I originally saw at the Washington DC gay film festival (Reel Affirmations). The film is filled with touching stories and unforgettable characters, and is a reminder that our gay brothers and sisters in the rural South often have to endure hardships to be who they are.

In depth, intriquing look at a minority population lives within a very conservative area. It is a great documentary that looks into a small town and how the gay culture is attempting to thrive in a Bible-beating town. It is a small-budget film but the interviews and looks into the area are interesting and well-done.

Awesome documentary about growing up gay/bi in a small town. There are some definite struggles but you're not alone. #Itgetsbetter

FOR THE DAD WHO WANTS TO DISOWN HIS SON FOR BEING WHO HE IS HOPEFULLY THIS DOCUMENTARY WILL GIVE YOU REASON TO WANT TO HOLD YOUR SON AGAIN AND LET HIM KNOW HIS DAD LOVES HIM.

I hated the movie.

Good but the movie sucked.

this dvd is more documentary, but it is interesting.

A very interesting insight into what it is like to be gay and lesbian in the rural South of the United States today: how difficult it is to come out to the people around you, to find a place to hang out, and to assert yourself in a society that still harbors a lot of anti-gay resentments (often based on religious fundamentalism). As discouraging the situation may be at times; the people portrayed in this film are inspiring and uplifting.

This is quite a special film. It is pretty much as the title describes -a documentary about the importance of a gay bar in a small community. It's not about a bar - it's really about the people and their stories, connected by the hub the bar provides. It's about reslience, bravery and humanity. Those of us who live in big cities forget about the challenges of small towns. It's well worth a watch, followed by a think
