Nine gay and bisexual black men from Philadelphia of differing generations, career outlooks and HIV status discuss coming out, the club scene, interracial relationships, family relations and the impact of AIDS on their lives.
Through interviews with nine black men living in Philadelphia, Dancing on Pearls explores the ways in which race and sexual orientation intersect. Interviewees reminisce about childhood and adolescent experiences and reflect on a variety of topics, including religion, sexual attraction, the state of the local gay community, HIV, and the experience of loss due to AIDS.
