Gays Against Guns
2026
Movie
Gays Against Guns takes us to the frontlines of the American gun violence epidemic, seen through the eyes of an Irish immigrant, who left Ireland when it was illegal to be gay in search of the ‘Gay American Dream’. But the Pulse nightclub massacre changed everything. It was the worst mass shooting in the U.S. at that time, and the catalyst for the formation of an extraordinary new activist group - Gays Against Guns. We follow our narrator, the filmmaker, from neon splashed street protests into the corridors of power, as he documents GAG’s actions over a ten year period, from that fateful night in Orlando, through the chaos of today’s unhinged, divided America. Featuring legendary filmmaker John Waters, this is an inspiring David and Goliath story for our turbulent times - a testament to resilience, community, and the power of caring for a total stranger.
