This documentary gave sizeable presentation to gay men, lesbians, and transgendered people. The topic covered Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Interviewees were English-speaking and non-English-speaking. It was amusing to hear such heavily British-influenced English and how people would stress the "ed" in past tense verbs, as if they were all pronounced like 'learned' or "affected"
There is a big argument among gay academics about whether all gays are alike or different; it's called essentialism versus constructionism in academese. Most experts favor the latter and go into detail about how gays abroad or in the past differ from those in the West today. However, this documentary shows numerous gays of the developing world saying how happy they were to hear the word "gay" or "transgendered" instead of epithets, how pleased they were to meet other gays for the first time, or how excited they were to see gay films. This is very similar to the coming-out stories of modern, Western gays. Further, many gays and lesbians of color in the West have suggested that white culture may promote or enforce homophobia in communities of color. (You can hear this in the independent documentary "Our House: Gays and Lesbians in the Hood.") Here, one Pakistani man notes that homophobic laws were not in Islamic legal books, but were handed over by the British. Several commentators wonder if the West is to blame for homophobia, rather than for gay rights.
