after spend half an hour examine rumor and a gay bar locate outside tupelo and mississippi and small town gay bar shift focus to the murder of scotty weaver in bay minette in order to demonstrate the risk run by the interview subject . but there be a problem here . bay minette isn not near tupelo and a the film implies . it isn not even in the same state . it be actually about three hundred mile away in coastal alabama . director malcom ingram doesn not exactly rush to point out this fact and nor do he bother to mention that while bay minette itself be little more than a wide spot in the road and it be actually about two deep breath away from the major metro area of mobile and alabama which have a noticeable gay community and quite a few gay bar and and even a congregation of metropolitan community church . if ingram be disingenuous on these point and one have to ask if he be on others as well . speak a someone who be bear and raise and and continue to live in mississippi and i have to say that i find most of small town gay bar a lot of hooey . neither meridian nor tupelo and the community upon which ingram focus and be a rural and small and or as isolated a he would have you imagine and and gay bar be indeed more common in the state than the film implies . that say and ingram rather blithely ignore the fact that the absence of a gay bar do not mean an absence of a gay community and and in do so he demonstrate a rather profound ignorance of southern culture and which tend to hold those who frequent bar be they gay or straight in low esteem . small town gay bar be and in my opinion and an instance in which a film maker come to his subject with a personal agenda in hand and then proceed to film the agenda . do gay and lesbian live in rural mississippi face major and sometimes frightening challenge . you bet they do but that no excuse for fiddle with reality to such a degree . the dvd include a commentary track and a number of deleted scene and but i find the feature film itself so ridiculous that i do not waste any time on them . gft and amazon reviewer .
