Dorian Blues
Directed by Tennyson Bardwell
Starring Michael McMillian, Lea Coco, Steven Charles Fletcher, Mo Quigley
This is an amazing film, and definitely worth watching regardless of your sexual orientation. Young Dorian is a self-termed "stereotypical gay." He uses words like "fabulous!" without thinking about it, wears pink shirts, and can't hold his own in a fight. For Dorian, trying to survive High School, emerge from the shadow of his successful jock brother, and deal with his homophobic and domineering father is bad enough, but when he finally escapes to college he discovers that his problems are far from over.
But with the help of his brother, a swing-dancing stripper, a drunken counsellor, and his friends, he might just make it. "Dorian Blues" is a powerful film, at once heartbreaking and very funny, and it blends the best of life with the worst of life with surprising deftness.

Dorian Blues was one of the best films I have seen, ever. It was really funny and the acting was wonderful. I recommend this film to anybody, any age, any sex or any sexual orientation. I watched it with my friends and my mom, even, and it was cool to see it together. I firmly agree with Ealasaid's description.
