It’s not easy being gay in America, and even harder in Gaylord, a predominately White, small conservative town in northern Michigan. How does a teenager cope in a town where differences are exposed? Gay from Gaylord is a coming-(out)-of-age story. This short documentary film debuted online on June 1st, 2015, and has already touched many. We follow Chris Ryan, a stand-up comedian and witty MSU student, on a journey back to his roots. He recalls deep personal high school experiences while coming to terms with being gay. Sometimes, the best comic routine is autobiographical, and you’ll find that the material used by Chris is anything but simple. Interviews with other students who identify as part of the LGBT community offer an array of perspectives on gay issues. They also find a voice through comedy despite adversity. |
