”The Butch Factor” – Documentary About What It Means to be Gay and a Man

What does mean to be gay and be a man? There’s no straight answer for sure. This is a documentary that explores masculinity and feminity of being gay. The Butch Factor does what a good documentary is supposed to do: it makes you think. It asks the question: what is masculinity and how do gay men perceive it? Especially for this group it is a loaded question. There is social pressure for a man to be manly, and this can be extra tough on gay guys, as they are not seen as ‘real’ men to begin with. The documentary crew talks to musclemen, sportsmen, regular joes, ‘sissies’ and to a female-to-male transman about what makes a man.
