Coming Out Against the Odds ? stories of folks who put their lives and careers at risk to be gay. First up, stories of being out in the US Navy: Kenny Campbell ("Skippy") is the ship's clown and uses the sewing machine to win over the hearts of his shipmates. Then Zoe Dunning sues the US Navy for reinstatement as a lesbian officer in the US Naval Reserves. Then Captain Tom Truss takes us to a gay prom for high school students in Silicon Valley, California, where students (and clergy) fend off the hateful protestors.
