The stories of three boys interweave in this high school drama. Nelson is openly gay with a supportive mother to back him up. His best friend, Kyle, is gay too, but no one but his few close friends know it. And Jason has a girlfriend, but he can’t stop thinking about guys. When Jason musters up the courage to get some answers to his confusion at a Rainbow Youth meeting, his cover is blown. He runs into Kyle and Nelson who also attend his high school. He desperately wants to keep his jock image intact, but it’s getting harder as he starts to fall for Kyle. Rainbow Boys deals with many issues in an engaging story of three boys who struggle with not just their sexuality, but abusive parents and peer intolerance as well.
