In the 1980's, Richard Coles was an openly gay chart-topping pop icon, and half of the group, The Communards. Today, he is the Reverend Coles, an ordained Anglican minister serving at a church in England. Coles is also a broadcaster on the BBC. In this documentary, Cole looks at the reluctance by some societies to equate gay rights -- with human rights.
