Skirt Chasers Local presents: The Boys in the Band (New 4K)

Pride is over. July is Gay shame Month and Skirt Chasers Local is hosting. 

What are we supposed to do with the skeletons in our closets? You know them- the self hating homosexuals, the loathsome creatures who bring it onto themselves. The ones we’re embarrassed by, who give us a bad reputation?

In anticipation of Skirt Chasers Local issue #3: Gay Shame Month, we’re bringing you some of our favorite negative depictions of homosexuality and exploring the origin of shame and its consequences.

In William Friedkin’s The Boys in the Band (1970), Harold is celebrating a birthday, and his friend Michael has drafted some other friends to help commemorate the event. As the evening progresses, the alcohol flows, the knives come out, and Michael’s demand that the group participate in a devious telephone game, unleashing dormant and unspoken emotions.
