Le film montre comment le cinéma hollywoodien a évoqué le thème de l’homosexualité, comment cette représentation a évolué au fil des ans et comment, en retour, elle a influencé la perception de l’homosexualité par le grand public.

États-Unis, années 40. Dans une étonnante propriété se côtoient quantité d’hommes (presque) nus qui batifolent autour de la piscine. Ce décor, c’est celui dans lequel évolue Bob Mizer, fondateur de « The Athletic Model Guild », un magazine de photos où les hommes posent nus ou presque. Jack Lalane, Joe Dallessandro et Wayne Stanley, anciens modèles de Mizer, témoignent chacun à leur manière de leur expérience. Pour la plupart d’entre eux, Bob Mizer dotait la jeunesse américaine d’un bréviaire de la forme et de la santé sans aucune intention homoérotique. Des procès furent pourtant engagés et une chasse aux sorcières organisée contre ces photographes jugés scandaleux. Mêlant allégrement documents d’archives et scènes de fiction délirantes, ce documentaire est à la fois l’histoire d’un homme et celle d’une époque.

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.
