[edit] Synopsis
Brad Jenkins, a 40 year old gay college professor still uncomfortable in his own skin, is transported back to his youth and a world in which gay is "normal" and straight is not accepted. Brad has to weigh whether to remain in the past and be "normal" or attempt to return to his old life. A local jock, who had ignored him before, now dates him. However, he grows attracted to a girl - his sister-in-law in the heteronormative world. Eventually, everyone dances with people of the opposite sex at the school ball, although they are in the homonormative world. Brad then decides to return to his life as a professor, and is alarmed by the homophobic discourse on television.
