HOMER'S
SECTIONALS
Why This Movie?
There are an encouragingly increasing number of movies being aimed at the LGBTQI+ community, as well as an upswing in the number of gay, queer, fluid, and transgender characters being portrayed on the big (and not so big) screen. Many of these excellent stories focus on the journey of coming out, the daily struggles, the “coming of age.” What we haven’t yet seen is an irreverent action-comedy adventure that packs the usual twists and turns of the genre, while being centered around the lives of the everyday folk who make up this wonderful community. Homer’s Sectionals is my attempt to fill that gap.
