<p class="ydp1119c77aMsoNormal"><span>Bennett is really
trying to keep it together right now. He broke up with his boyfriend and moved
in with his best friend, Cooper. It’s election season, and he’s the
speechwriter for Georgia’s only gay state senator, who’s engaged in a bloody
campaign against a conservative darling. Then Bennett’s ex is attacked in the
parking lot of a gay bar. Bennett and Cooper are informed that the assault
can’t be classified as a hate crime – because in Georgia, hate crimes against
homosexuals don’t legally exist. Their frustration and fear eventually turn to
rage as they realize “acceptance” simply isn’t enough. They’re still living in
a society that relegates them to second-class status. They’re not respected.
They’re not feared. It’s time for that to change.</span></p>
