Easily the funniest, wildest, gay sex comedy since Another Gay Movie , David Lewis Longhorns is a the rauucous tale of a 'straight' Texas fratboy who realizes maybe he may not be all that straight after all. It's a Texas college circa 1982 - big hair, loud shirts and cowboy boots are considered high fashion- men are men, women are just future wives (or current sluts), and there is nothing gay about helping a guy out! Good ol fratboy Kevin is straight as an arrow (if you don't count his gay fantasies when f**king his girlfriend, or j**king off his fellow frat brothers) but he begins to see things a little queerly when he meets the sexy and together and openly gay Csar. Can a straight guy fall for another dude? And can Kevin continue going down on his old pal (Dylan Vox) under the belief that it is just fratboy hijinks? And will kissing Csar change him forever? Never has a film featured so many straight men doing so many gay things as beer is guzzled, pants are dropped and playful bed-hopping ensues. Fast, fun and sexy, Longhorns is already on its way to become a gay genre classic.
