Alan Cumming stars in the new film, 'Drive Back Home.'
The Scottish actor tells Q’s Tom Power that he wants to honour a generation of queer people whose stories were never told in his new film, “Drive Back Home.", he felt a strong connection to its lead character, Perley. Like Cumming, Perley has one brother and an abusive father, is gay and grew up in a small town. But while the Tony-winning actor grew up in Scotland, Perley is from New Brunswick.
Cumming learned that this was a common tactic used by Canadian police officers against queer people in the '60s and '70s to shame them for their sexuality. By forcing queer people to have a family member pick them up in lieu of prison time, they outed them to their relatives.
