The gay show audience is still a demographic that’s looking for its story onscreen. You have to realize that, with any minority, any popular expression (if you can consider Later Days popular: there were only twenty people present when I saw it) is a statement of the whole group. It’s about our life. This is us. This is our story. It’s so essential to see that story honestly or earnestly dealt with that quality comes second. Don’t expect this to be recognized by mainstream critics. And why should it be? They're reviewing for the mainstream, not for a specific niche starved for a public voice.

The trilogy follows them from their time together as missionaries, through their twenties, and ends with them finally getting married.
Part I
The first movie introduces us to Elder RJ Smith (Nick Ferrucci) and Elder Chris Merril (Benjamin Farmer), young men around twenty who are paired as mission companions in Portland. As the two increase closer together they launch to fall in romance, and eventually, start having sex. The more they fall in love, the less time they invest tending to their mission work. Instead, they consume their days with each other and hanging out with Rodney (Brian J. Saville Allard) a veteran with PTSD whom they initially tried to change, but befriend instead. Of course, their secret is eventually found out whe
