Set in the near future when Christian fundamentalists overthrow the U.S. government, Second Coming tells the story of two high school boys who fall deeply in love in spite of the homophobic, racist, and anti-Semitic sentiment propaganda that is sweeping the country. Fags and Lesbians are out. So are Jews, blacks, foreigners and all the minorities, and anyone else not 'Christian'. They join a resistance group made up of students who protest living under religious, fascist rule, and stand up for their right to love and think their own way. Full Summary

(2) DEAR ROCK
A Film by Jack Walsh

Cast:
Erick Newton (narrator)




DEAR ROCK is a posthumous fan letter to Rock Hudson that uses Hudson as a springboard for an exploration of AIDS and homophobia. As the bachelor, movie-star idol, Hudson was emblematic of Hollywood's construction of the all-American male. Yet, as is the case with most cultural myths, this public, straight facade masked the private, gay man Hudson was, forcing him to lead a double life. Using the contrived form of the fan letter, DEAR ROCK uses digression as its structure, beginning with elements of Hudson's life that open onto larger contemporary issues about gay male identity.
