Highways Performance Space presents Ian MacKinnon's Gay Hist-Orgy! Pt. 2: The Search for Gay Love! as part of Highways' BEHOLD! A Queer Performance Festival. The cyber-sexual time traveling hot-pants have gotten an upgrade, and with the help of his genie guide and leather daddy queer theory professor friend, performance artist activist Ian MacKinnon searches history, mythology, psychology, and pornography to answer the question, "What is Gay Love?" A sequel that stands alone, it's a hot and horny multi-media romp, an evening of laughs and lust, fun and f#cking, humor and history, sex and love. Featuring hot porno-storical histo-graphic encounters with gay icons such as: Socrates, Walt Whitman, Edward Carpenter, Zeus, Ganymede, Alexander the Great, Hadrian, Zeami, Bayard Rustin, and more!
