Donna Deitch (Desert Hearts) directs an all-star cast that includes Jason Priestley, Brittany Murphy, Margot Kidder, Eric Stoltz, and Ed Asner in a three­-part film chronicling the lives of three gener­ations of gays in small town Connecticut.

A young girl in the 1950s is the subject of rumors when she returns to her hometown from a stint in the Navy, finding comfort with a local woman (Desert Hearts alum Helen Shaver). Jonathan Taylor Thomas plays a 1970s high school senior, honor student, and swim team star who struggles with his sexual identity and relationship with his "straight" French teacher. And in the year 2000, a gay man, about to marry his lover of 15 years, is confronted by his father (Asner) who doesn't know whether to attend or protest his son's wedding.

The three episodes — originally aired on Showtime and written individually by play­wrights Paula Vogel (The Baltimore Waltz), Terrence McNally (Love! Valour! Compassion!), and Harvey Fierstein (Torch Song Trilogy) — are poignant and thoughtful contributions to the queer narrative landscape.
