Summary
"Ever feel like reality is more twisted than dreams?"
The Wives Colangelo are closing out Pride Month by introducing Harmony to the punk rock cinematic world of Gregg Araki and celebrating 30 years of THE DOOM GENERATION. Sometimes being a teenager feels like looking down the end of the world, and no one understands that feeling quite like Xavier Red, Jordan White, and Amy Blue. Let's talk about this middle finger to American conservatism, pro-polyamory, bisexual disasterpiece. This isn't queer as in "love is love," but it is most certainly queer as in f*ck you.
