A Different Story (1978)

Homosexuality can be cured! All it takes is a stiff dose of alcohol, and invert urges reverse themselves and extend outward with the urgency of a fresh, first-time, straight-edged hard-on, or such is the wisdom of A Different Story (1978). Lead actor Perry King has two strikes against him. Not only is he a semi-documented Belgian in America, he is also gay, and he has just lost his job and is at risk of being shipped back to Antwerp. Enter his best pal, a lesbian as played by the eternally man-mesmerizing Meg Foster, who weds her gay pal rather than throw a bon voyage party for him. Then the two imbibe a bit too much grog, have a snog and a screw, and Meg comes up knocked up. The pair make one detour on their straight shot to happiness--King has an affair with a model, of the female variety. How come booze doesn’t work for all those guys in the gay bars?
