This fantastic sequel to the original Homo Promo features original 35mm trailers from some of the most well-known LGBTQ movies of the 1980s and early 90s. This wonderful mix of mainstream and independent trailers reveals the unique distinctions between Hollywood insiders and outsiders as these three-minute masterpieces sell the Gay New Wave, the New Queer Cinema and everything from camp to homophobia. Highlights include trailers for Making Love (1982), Personal Best (1982), Poison (1991), Young Soul Rebels (1991) and It's Pat (1994)!
