Of Pumps and Circumstance

Joey is a 21-year-old, slow talking, long-haired, muscled, gay man from East Texas. Sean is a 19-year-old, over-analytical, Young Republican, closeted homosexual from West Texas. East meets West when both men attend a Christian university. Lust and love soon follow, while Joey reluctantly introduces Sean to "the lifestyle," forcing Sean to face new levels of questioning and introspection. Sean chronicles their relationship (which runs concurrently with the first decade of the AIDS crisis) and introduces a cast of other square pegs, all circumnavigating the mythical round hole. Part love story, part expos, part psychological treatise, Of Pumps and Circumstance is a humorous, erotic and sometimes tragic tale of the search for love, truth and self-worth.
