Which coincides PERFECTLY with the release of several really great LGBT feature films on dvd. So cozy up with that someone special, or get your cocktail clutch together, light a fire and check out these little gems.
SAVE ME stars Chad Allen, Robert Gant and Judith Light and premiered at The Sundance Film Festival a few years back as well as being the Opening Night Gala film at OUTFEST: The Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Film Festival.Allen plays a hopeless drug addict and homosexual, whose only hope at sobriety lands him at a Christian rehabilitation center where his strongest advocate is a conservative counselor played by Light.
Will he give up drugs? Will he give up homosexuality? Or will he fall in love with the beefcake recovering addict played by Robert Gant?
The film deals with the hot-bed subject matter of conservative Christianity and homosexuality, as well as drug addiction in the lgbt community.
OUT AT THE WEDDING is about a woman engaged to an African American man, who is so scared to announce her situation to her father that she somehow accidently comes out as a lesbian at her sister's wedding, then has to continue the ruse to save face with her family.

Oh, finally. I've been waiting for Save Me to be released. Anyone got any ideas if it's released in the UK yet, too? We always have to wait forever for the bad films, and even longer for the good ones :( . And my DVD player isn't set up for R1 discs. I might just have to invest in a multi-region player!
