Welcome to Screen Gems, our weekend dive into queer and queer-adjacent titles of the past that deserve a watch or a rewatch.This 2003 comedy found an immediate cult following on release for its love story between a West Hollywood circuit boy and a Mormon missionary.
We have a feeling that has more to do with the premise than the quality of the final film. Let’s face it, some guys have a Mormon fetish.
Latter Days indulges that.Wes Ramsey plays Christian, the aforementioned party boy who falls hard for his new Mormon neighbor, Aaron (Steve Sandvoss).
The film follows a fairly boilerplate story from there on, with the sexual tension mounting, and Aaron predictably having to choose between his homophobic Mormon faith, and his newfound passion.
