Small Town Gay Bar 

Year: 2006
Country: USA
Director: Malcolm Ingram
Starring: Malcolm Ingram
Synopsis: This documentary explores small town gay bars, no surprise there. For anyone who is gay in a small town in the Bible belt, you come to realize how important these few bars are because they are almost the only aspect of gay life you can experience.
Quick review: This film looks at gay bars in rural Mississippi and includes interviews with some famous homophobes, including the Rev. Fred Phelps of the Westboro Baptist Church. But ignore those moments of hate, and focus on the average gay people who depend on bars like Rumors and Crossroads to be the one place they can go to and be themselves, without having to worry about anyone judging them, or worse yet, killing them. The film also takes a look at the murder of Scotty Weaver, a young man who was brutally tortured and murdered by three young people because he was gay. But he and the homophobes are not the focus. It's all about these bars, including Crossroads, which sounds like it was the wildest gay bar in history. The way they describe it, it would make your average bath house blush in shame. Some of the gay bars they describe are no longer there, or have been reborn. But some were still thriving when the film ended. In Washington, D.C. gays are spoiled. I've seen bars for gay Latinos, gay blacks, bears and chubs, leather, dance, strippers, and happy hour. It's after a film like this you can appreciate how just one bar in the middle of nowhere can be so important to gay men, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people. They all get along because all are thrilled to have one place to call their own.
