Homosexuals in
Hiding
This
is the true story of a married man from a patrician southern family who
left his wife and two children to set up home with a younger man among the
mountain people of the Blue Ridge Mountains in South Carolina. Their story
confounds many stereotypes, prejudices and expectations - not only with
regard to homosexuality itself, but also to general attitudes and
responses to it. The story has all the elements of high drama - including
their induction into "mountain ways", battles with the
"Georgia Mafia", and a court action brought by the estranged
wife. There are a number of surprising twists and turns, including the
fact that they became the first same-sex couple in their state (and
possibly in America) to host the annual county debutantes' coming out
party.
