Description: “The Gay Deceivers” is definitely an odd movie for its time, as in 1969, gay-themed films were certainly NOT mainstream. Now by today’s standards the film is ridiculously campy and stereotypical, but it was still a very bold departure for its time.

The film begins with two friends (Kevin Coughlin and Larry Casey) pretending to be gay in order to avoid being drafted and sent to Vietnam. Their ruse seems to work, but later one of them sees a fellow from the draft board nosing around so they decide to go all the way–moving in together and pretending to be a couple. They live in a very gay-friendly apartment complex and soon are accepted by their EXTREMELY stereotypical neighbors. And, over time, it becomes less and less certain to those around them that they are actually straight and it’s interesting to see how their friends turn against them.
