Killing Patient Zero

sex

There are strong sex references, such a man remarking that during the 1970s "... gay men were discovering that the other half of their dick was in their rectum," another man lamenting that "anal sex" became a pretext for demonsing gay men and a man remarking that gay men hoped that the cause of AIDS could be something easy to give up, "Like poppers, S&M, fisting."

discrimination

There are scenes of and references to discriminatory behaviour (such as police rounding up gay men at baths and clubs, protestors yelling "No more faggots!" and gay men recalling how they were beaten up because of their sexuality) and other references, such as a television reporter referring to a gay man as being "... unable to hold a job because of his inability to control his homosexual inclinations" and that, "The average homosexual is promiscuous. He is not interested in or capable of a lasting relationship, like that of a heterosexual marriage."

additional issues: There is infrequent use of strong language ('f**k'), shots of natural nudity (bare buttocks, a testicle seen up a man's shorts leg), a passing reference to a man considering suicide, passing and undetailed references to drug misuse and of legal highs such as 'poppers', B&W still images of the Stonewall Riots and moderate injury detail in sight of a gay man with blood pouring down his head during police arrest.
