Castro District of San Francisco, 1995. A world of pride, ignorance, AIDS, and most importantly the Spiky Lesbians, queer superheros trying to rid the world (or at least the state of California) of homophobia and ignorance. Sabrina and Blair, the moms of the group, constantly trying to keep Alfie from sticking his hand in another fricking blender and trying to lead the ragtag bunch. Maya, the genius behind all their technology who fled Brazil in the 80s to get away from a transphobic past. Ella, a fierce and independent young woman whose best friends with Alfie, the young British time traveler who wound up in the middle of this mess from his perfect on the outside (but not on the inside) life in 2019. Then there’s Chi, the recluse writer who gets dragged in by Alfie.
Add some grunge concerts, abusive boyfriends, prank wars, religious cults, repressed feelings, gay emo strangers with beautiful long hair, and lots and lots of puns, and you have the story of the Spiky Lesbians.
