MOREHEAD
Synopsis
By Jeffrey Hickey
Dave Morehead is like most men. He wants to
get laid. In the late 1970’s in San Francisco, at the height of the sexual
revolution, this does not pose much of a problem for a handsome young college
student in his early 20’s. But despite his narrow perspective, Dave cannot help
but be drawn into the social, sexual and political upheaval of his time.
Dave encounters people of varying sexual
orientations, and while he remains staunchly and defiantly heterosexual
throughout the story, he soon realizes there is much more to life than his
sexual needs.
San Francisco is teeming with diversity, and
an evolving political base that forever changes the landscape of what had
always been a progressive city. Harvey Milk, Halloween in the Castro, college
classes where heterosexuals are in the minority, the first Gay Games, and
spiritual cults comprise just part of the terrain Dave must traverse in order
to get from where he was, to what he will become.
Along the way, he is challenged, assaulted,
forced to defend himself, and rely on an expanding and surprising variety of
friends. He is put into situations most straight men would find challenging at
best, if not repugnant.
At the same time, a mysterious “gay cancer”
is beginning to afflict his new friends and the community at large. Dave has to grow up, and he has to make
choices. Will he be there for his friends, or will he let them go?
Morehead is a coming of age story in the
first person. It is told from the perspective of journals, classroom
assignments, and transcribed audio recordings. It comically, bluntly and
poignantly tells the tale of a straight young man living in a gay old city.
Morehead will also resonate in the world
today; especially pertaining to straight/gay relations, because Dave Morehead
is like most men.
