IT'S IN THE WATER

It's In The Water is a 1997 gay movie which touches on the themes of homosexuality, coming out, AIDS and prejudice in a small town in Texas. Alexandria goes to volunteer at Hope House an AIDS hospice as part of her junior league's annual project. Alexandria runs into her best friend Spencer at the hospice where his homosexual lover is a resident. That night at the town's annual Azalea Ball a drunken Spencer tells a society matron that his homosexuality was caused by drinking the local water. The news spreads and newspapers print the story. This causes a panic and tests are commissioned on the water supply.
