Imagine an email describing the ultimate gay cruise on a brand new
ship called The Paradise-built especially for the gay community.
This ship has it all: shopping, Broadway shows, fabulous
restaurants and clubs, swimming pools and casinos. And the maiden
voyage is just about to depart from glamorous Singapore for the
South China Sea, Bali and Australia. It's a dream trip that would
be hard to resist. Who responds to these emails? What kind of
people will be on this ship? From California to Florida, from
Oregon to New York, from Arizona to Texas, Gangplank follows five
"couples" from across the country who have some very interesting
reasons for buying a ticket on The Paradise. Daisy and Oliver are
mother and son. As national president of GASP (Gay Allies Siblings
and Parents) she is determined to improve her gay son's love life
She doesn't know his love life has already improved without her
help Ed and Cliff have been together for 45 years. But Ed is
keeping a secret. Is an anniversary cruise part of it or a way out
of it? Mollianne and Van are a Texas debutante and her gay first
husband. Sometimes ex-wives make the best girlfriends and Van in
called upon to prove his friendship. When Mollianne experiences
some hard life lessons, Van puts his own budding romance on hold
for her. Dennis and Chad, two "theater people" in a May/September
romance, are headed for a high seas honeymoon if an old love from
the past doesn't sink the ship. It would be high drama if they
weren't so much in love. And finally, Mitch and Ronnie were college
roommates and have been best friends ever since. There friendship
is healthier than their love lives. A cruise will help them mend
their broken hearts and other body parts and prove that friendship
might be the best kind of love after all. There's plotting and
scheming, a few white lies and some shabby grey ones, too. There is
high romance and low comedy, Tom Ford sweaters and Botox, a vintage
Mustang and Neiman-Marcus. Five very different stories about love.
And what brings them all together? The promise of a fantastic
voyage where they can break and heal, cry and laugh, forget and
remember that ends with a poignant good-bye to one of them. And it
all happens before they even get on board the ship Remember that
this isn't a story about a cruise. We've already got The Love Boat
for that. This is a story about how to get to the Gangplank

The definition of home is different for everyone. For some, it's a
place, for others another person or a work of art or an old comfy
sofa. Connoly Bradshaw IV moved 1800 miles from all he knew of home
to avoid coming out to his family and friends. And Portland, Oregon
had welcomed him. He has a job he loves, good friends and he has
met his soulmate, Travis Craig. They are even thinking of buying a
home together but, in order to move forward, he must face his
family and the lies of omission. The miles are closing in on him
and the inevitable Texas showdown hangs over his head. Then he
receives word of his grandfather's death and he must return to East
Texas for the funeral. Putting his own life aside out of respect
for his grandfather and namesake, he decides to keep his secret a
little while longer when he returns to Madison, Texas and the
family he loves and fears. But on the day of the funeral, his aunt
gives him a package left for him by his grandfather. Inside is a
journal kept fifty years earlier when the elder Bradshaw was a
young man. The journal, the final gift of love, will change Con's
life forever, and the lives of everyone around him will be
affected. HOME is the story of two Connoly Bradshaws: one, a
contemporary story of love and coming out and acceptance. The other
is a fifty year old tale of romance, love and loss in the summer of
1959. The youngest Bradshaw is about to be caught up in his
grandfather's life in a way he never expected and comes to
understand that generations may differ in many ways but some things
never change and one of those is love.
In a gay twist on Brief Encounter, Charlie Morgan and Ben McSwain
meet on a train and are instantly drawn to each other. Charlie is a
gay writer and atheist. Ben is an evangelical Christian, widowed
with two children, who has never even thought about a relationship
with another man. While it appears that these two have nothing in
common, they find that they are "soulmates." It's a surprising and
joyous discovery for Charlie and a confusing one for Ben as they
try to bridge their vastly different lives. Ben has a full life
with his work as a nurse, his family and his devotion to his
church. His love for Charlie and a personal tragedy will test all
of those commitments and make him question everything in his life.
Charlie's work takes him to Texas to write a Broadway-bound show in
collaboration with his old college roommate, Lee, and sexy, young
country and western star, Luke Beecham. It looks like a smash hit
until a secret from Lee's past shatters everyone's chances for
happiness and brings Charlie to the loneliest place in his life.
