Joey is a 21-year-old, slow talking, long-haired,
muscled, gay man from East Texas. Sean is a 19-year-old, over-analytical,
Young Republican, closeted homosexual from West Texas. East meets
West when both men attend a Christian university. Lust and love
soon follow, while Joey reluctantly introduces Sean to “the
lifestyle”, forcing Sean to face new levels of questioning
and introspection.
Sean chronicles their relationship (which runs
concurrently with the first decade of the AIDS crisis) and introduces
a cast of other square pegs, all circumnavigating the mythical
round hole. Part love story, part exposé, part psychological
treatise, Of Pumps and Circumstance is a humorous, erotic
and sometimes tragic tale of the search for love, truth and self-worth.
