Upon hitting puberty, a high school boy realizes that he is homosexual and faces prejudice from his homophobic parents and friends.
Although there are undoubtedly some more serious undercurrents for this short drama, it’s carried off with an engaging light-heartedness that does raise a smile. Did you know, for example, that there is a direct correlation between getting your sperm on your hands and then going deaf (as well as blind, I presume)? “Trevor” (Brett Barsky) is really just your average teenage lad struggling to get any attention from his parents. His school life isn’t much better until he is befriended by baseball heart-throb “Pinky” (Jonah Rooney). Things are on the up, and he even starts listening to the more upbeat tracks from his Diana Ross collection. Unfortunately, he mistakenly confides his adulation for his new best pal with “Walter” (Allen Dorane) and next thing he is being shunned by everyone and given the ultimate in embarrassing life lectures by their local curate. Oh dear! Now we are back to “Endless Love” and some drastic action. What next? It’s told using a quite amusing “Dear diary” confessional style alongside an entertaining effort from Barsky as his character deals with every trauma as if it were to be his last, but without ridiculing the significance to a young gay lad of finding his own sexuality amidst a society at best ignorant, at worst more cruel. It’s the fact that it’s message is delivered more subtly that works better here, and there’s food for thought here for a world of folks called “Trevor”, their friends and parents alike.
