Director Reed Cowan, who is a former Mormon missionary, "planned on making a film about gay teen homelessness and suicide in Utah, but switched his focus to Mormon ideology because of how it contributes to the homophobia that causes these problems". The film focuses on the wealth and power of the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and how the Church uses the National Organization for Marriage to advocate for denial of rights to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Americans. It states that LDS Church leader Thomas S. Monson asked to ensure the passage of the controversial California Proposition 8. It also states that many homeless people in Utah are LGBT teens who were abandoned by their Mormon parents.

Dix femmes, vivant pour la plupart à Vancouver ou à Toronto, parlent de leur vie de lesbienne dans les années 1940, 1950 et 1960 : elles découvrent les romans en fascicules de l'époque sur les femmes amoureuses, leurs premières aventures, la douleur de la rupture, la fréquentation des bars gays, les descentes de police, les réactions des hommes et l'étiquette des rôles masculins et féminins. Les interviews et les images d'archives sont entrecoupées de quatre chapitres dramatisés d'un roman de gare, "Forbidden Love" : Laura quitte son bled pour la ville, où elle rencontre Mitch dans un bar. Les étincelles fusent, les rires et la joie aussi. Ann Bannon, l'un des auteurs de ces romans de poche sur l'amour interdit, parle du genre.

The film, titled after a poem by Wheeler, details the abuse he received at the hands of his classmates because of his homosexuality. It also presents interviews and a cross-nation road-trip with members of Young Gay America, an online teen organization for gays, and compares the teasing and physical abuse Jim suffered to the increasingly open attitudes towards homosexuality six years later when the film was first shown.
