MovieDocumentary
Gay Positive is the story of one man trying to bring to attention the outdated ban on gay men donating blood in the United States of America. This documentary is meant to inform and educate people on this controversial issue. A woman who recently received her nursing degree presents facts that could suggest that in order to keep our blood supply clean and abundant, we must update our current screening process for potential donors. By taking the camera to the streets, Gay Positive captures the opinions of people from many walks of life regarding how they feel about the ban today. One of the questions posed was, "If you were in need of a blood transfusion and the donor was healthy, would it concern you if this generous individual was a gay male?" Recent history proves that when tragedy strikes, donor centers are often in short supply and struggle to meet demand. The ban forces organizations such as The Red Cross to reject willing, disease-free, healthy individuals.

Jay, a queer transman, navigates the shark-infested waters of LA’s gay dating scene. He’s young, he’s single, and he’s really just looking for fun and sex, meeting guys mostly on hookup apps, but when the bedroom door closes, he is subjected to the type of questions cis men only feel safe to ask in private. Jay’s chosen family comes with him on his journey, starting with his primary relationships with cis women: Selena, his gluten-intolerant Angeleno best friend and Darlene, the Bostonian hairdresser/problematic fave who practically raised him and Penis Mascot, the cartoon caped penis who personifies his id. When he meets Joe, a kind genuine guy who’s really into him, he doesn’t really know how to act and must learn self respect to save any hope for his new relationship.
