17 years after family matriarch Peggy tripped over G.W.’s wooden legs in
Sordid Lives, same-sex marriage equality has barreled into
Winters, Texas and not everyone is ready to accept it. An anniversary
memorial service is being planned in honor of Peggy at the bar while the
Southside Baptist Church plans an "Anti-Equality"
rally to protest the abomination of gay marriage and work to defend
their religious freedom. The beloved cast of colorful characters are all
on a collision course for shenanigans and fireworks on the big night.
Along the way a bisexual serial killer shows
up, a drag queen country medley is performed and a
beauty-salon-versus-the-bigots battle turns getting your hair done into
the front lines of the equality battle. Friendships are tested and
families are reunited as fear and bigotry are confronted with acceptance
and understanding on the way to a surprise wedding with (almost)
everyone in attendance.
Sordid Lives
was a massive hit among LGBT audiences and spawned a 12-episode TV
series in 2008 — stars such as Bedelia, Olivia Newton-John Delta Burke
and Rue McClanahan
appeared.
