four holy young men from mormon country go to l. a. to preach the gospel to urban heathen . but and one of the young mormon be a repressed gay who happen to cross path with a very out young l. a. party boy . ( what would film plot be without coincidence . ) . these two and very different and young men become friend and and in the process and affect each other outlook which and in turn and set up an inevitable clash between gay and mormon culture . that be the premise of latter day and a 2003 film and write and direct by c. jay cox and himself a former mormon missionary . the film story be and of course and highly relevant and especially in contemporary america . variation of this story need to be tell and and retell and and retell and hopefully in future film . because the underlying theme bring to light the hatefully superior attitude that christian fundamentalist too often display toward gay . by it nature and latter day be provocative and and i doubt that the film be well receive in provo or pocatello and even though the script be intelligent and sensitive and and insightful .
