While homosexuality is now widely accepted in many countries, this is not the case in the Philippines, where it is still regarded as a 'disordered inclination'. Of God and Men tells the true story of Raymond Alikpala's journey of self-discovery, which takes him from the predominantly Catholic Philippines to Singapore, Thailand and eventually Cambodia. It was a journey during which he joined and left priesthood, after deciding that God wanted him to lead a full and honest life - which meant coming out.
