San Francisco in the late 1970's, and early 1980's.
It was a time of sexual, evolutionary, and
political change with both glorious and
nearly catastrophic consequences.
It was also a great time to be a
straight young man in a
gay old city.

It was a time for Morehead.

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.
