“NO REGRET” Opens September 12th 2008 at the Living Room
With the recent California Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage, NO REGRET definitely reminds us of how far the gay community has come, and how far we still have to go. Furthermore, the idea and image of homosexuality continues to be a taboo in the Asian and Asian American community. The dramatic Korean soap-opera like NO REGRET is a close depiction of men on the down-low living in suburbia and living double lives in order to assimilate and imitate the mainstream image of masculinity.
