Each session focuses on a different aspect of gay life. Hearing men share their growing up and coming out stories often evokes nods of agreement. So many of us come out in isolation that we fail to realize how common that experience is. Men are also given disposable cameras and asked to come back with photos of things in their life they consider fabulous. The arresting images captured in these photographs and the group discussion that follows provide the series with a rich and fascinating backdrop.
Sessions also cover sex, pornography and erotica.
Based on input from participants, the series is constantly changing and evolving. A highlight of the series has been the Gay Nightlife Tour. The first tour was an odyssey to various gay nightspots including bars, sex clubs and public sex environments. The second tour was an anthropological exploration of gay bars.
