Growing old ain’t for sissies, as the saying goes, and for us actual sissies it can be even more challenging. This documentary looks at the trials of growing older in gay culture, closely following three men in their 60s and 70s as they deal with issues of commitment and loss. In the most poignant of the three stories, a 78-year-old Florida man makes tentative forays into dressing as a woman; his loneliness is painful to contemplate, but his courage is awe-inspiring. Wed. Oct. 9, 6:30 p.m., Tampa Theatre.
