For anyone of an ‘alternative’ sexuality, home can be a loaded concept, with its connotations of place, identity and security. In this film, a diverse range of the queer community at Auckland’s Big Gay Out festival talk to a self-operated camera about their personal experiences; sharing accounts which are moving, humorous and intimate stories of home.
