The End of Gay

Dr. Robert Zemanovic, a geneticist at the National Institutes of Health in Maryland, has a secret. After years of private research, conducted out of his home laboratory, the doctor has discovered the mutation that causes homosexuality, the gay gene. Aware of the cultural shock and controversy attendant to his research, he keeps his efforts a complete secret from everyone, including his own family. But all that secrecy can no longer be contained when he begins the next phase of his research – gene therapy on volunteers to correct their sexual orientation. With the initial group of 12 volunteers showing up at his home for treatment of the condition, his spouse demands an accounting of his activity. Cornered, the doctor reluctantly reveals the nature of his work, a disclosure which starts unintended consequences in motion, creating major problems at home, his place of employment, and for his volunteers, all leading to an unexpected, dramatic ending.
