BURY YOUR GAYS is a musical comedy about gay teenagers who encounter cosmic horrors in their high school basement.
It’s 2013 in Central Jersey’s Dunmouth Township, where the 17-year cicadas refuse to die. Gio’s father describes the mutant cicadas as “unnatural,” the same word he used last summer when Gio came out as a lesbian. Determined to find the reason for the cicadas’ mutations and for her own queerness, Gio becomes obsessed with investigating the (un)natural.
