He hates being called sweetie and finds Kevin and Reggie’s unexpected hook-up “disgusting.” Harrison represents Bible-thumping politicians and others on the right who call queer people “groomers” and pedal “protect the kids” rhetoric. A Kuwait veteran, Harrison possesses exaggerated machismo, and it seeps from his pores. When his fiance Jamie ( Michael Urie) discovers he’s actually upstate for the weekend, Larry invites Harrison to make the drive up and spend some quality time together. He consistently makes concessions when it comes to his soon-to-be brother-in-law Harrison’s ( Nicholas Logan) bigotry, smoothing over Harrison’s comments with a shrug or nervous laugh. He descends the creaky staircase, shimmying his shoulders and eyes as bright as neon.Ī people pleaser, Larry always makes sure everyone else is comfortable without taking into account his own feelings. Feeling comfortably at home, Larry seeks out one of two elaborate staircases, on which he hopes to razzle-dazzle with a little end-of-weekend performance. “I’m having a moment,” gushes Larry over the sweeping architecture. The group arrives mid-afternoon, the sun burning hot through the atmosphere, and immediately begins exploring the grounds. Ghost stories only ever partially resemble the truth, and Sylvia and Phillip’s tragedy is far sadder once you dig below the earth-crusted surface. She was then executed by townsfolk and now haunts the premises with vengeance in her eyes. Reggie ( Troy Iwata), Kevin ( Noah Ricketts), and Nico ( Frankie Grande) bankroll a three-night stay in a creepy Victorian-style home, where allegedly a woman named Sylvia Lawrence brutally murdered her only son Phillip ( Camden Garcia) and buried his body on the property. The film tells the story of a group of gay friends on a weekend retreat to celebrate Larry’s ( Travis Coles) upcoming nuptials. But I found the joy I so desperately needed recently with Wesley Taylor and Alex Wyse’s Summoning Sylvia, one of the year’s most important releases. Joy, such an elusive experience these days. Such lawmaking creates an atmosphere of fear, hate, and violence, and it’s difficult to find joy. Of course, there are also plenty of Don’t Say Gay bills, bathroom bills, and other anti-trans bills circulating in this country. Many bills specifically target drag shows or other public performances–censoring or outright banning them.
There are nearly 500 anti-LGBTQ+ bills currently advancing through state legislatures.
