This is a stub for the film "Issues 101", created by outofthecloset.tv.
This movie had generally bad reviews, and its main point of interest is that it is the movie debut for American Idol alumni Kelly Clarkson who had a small cameo role. [American Idol Kelly Clarkson in Gay Film].
Ted Trent, owner of the website that is distributing Issues 101, said: "Kelly is the American Idol and will be for years to come. Her performance in a gay-themed film only proves that she deserves the title of diva and idol all rolled into one." According to Trent, "Issues 101 is not a porn movie, as it does not show penises or insertion shots. Rather, he likens the sexual content to imagery seen on Showtime's Queer As Folk and other programs, which show men hugging, kissing, and in intimate situations."
Issues 101 was shown at gay film festivals throughout 2002, and came out as a DVD in 2003. [link]
The film attracted a formal complaint by a viewer to the New Zealand Broadcast Standards Authority after it screened during the [Triangle Television] gay television festival in Auckland in January 2003. The BSA [ruled] that the scenes depicting oral and anal sex were offensive and the timeslot of its broadcast (8.30PM) was unsuitable for children.
