Homotopia is a 2007 short film by Eric A. Stanley and Chris E. Vargas. The film talks about the politics of gay marriage and assimilation[1] and addresses issues of racism, colonialism, HIV/AIDS, and the State.
Plot[edit]
Yoshi, the main character, falls in love with someone he meets in a park bathroom while reading Frantz Fanon's Black Skin, White Masks. Sadly, his new love interest is about to marry another man. Yoshi and his friends decide to stop the wedding from happening.[2]

Sequel[edit]
A sequel to Homotopia was created eight years later, titled Criminal Queers. The film is a "Prison-Break style comedy," meant as a commentary on the American prison system and its oppression of LGBTQ people.[3]
