What Comes Before Gay? Two Boys and the Limitations of Gay Identity

What Comes Before Gay? Two Boys and the Limitations of Gay Identity | LGBTQ+ Movies, Theatre, FIlm & Music | Scoop.it

It is increasingly uncouth, in mainstream criticism, to assign any special meaning to a gay storyline, impolitic to suggest that because a narrative happens to include a gay sensibility, relationship, or characters, it might warrant a different kind of evaluation. That creators of clearly gay-themed work nonetheless resist being labeled as “gay artists” and that critics comply by noting gayness matter-of-factly (if at all) is, I guess, another triumph for the “we’re just like you” school of the gay rights movement. But in the rush to tear down the walls of the much-maligned gay-art ghetto, could we be sacrificing the richness of understanding that’s only possible when difference is celebrated and investigated rather than downplayed or dismissed as irrelevant?

The Falls: A Testament of Love continues where the smash gay hit The Falls left off, following the story of two young, forbidden Mormon lovers. It begins with RJ Smith and Chris Merrill (Nick Ferrucci and Benjamin Farmer) five years after their mission in Clackamas Falls, Oregon. When an unexpected event occurs, the two young men find themselves thrust into one another's lives. As old feelings begin to surface, they once again face difficult choices. While fulfilling their desire to be together, RJ and Chris risk hurting the ones they care about as they embark on a spiritual journey to discover love, freedom and most of all, happiness.
