The story

"A Friend of Dorothy's" In the 1950s, Dorothy Nelson (Brittany Murphy) joins the United States Navy where she meets the Friends of Dorothy, a code name for a group of gay and lesbian sailors. She meets Billy (Jason Priestley), who takes her to an interracial nightclub that accepts gay people. However, the NIS raids the club, and Dorothy is among those servicemembers who receive a blue discharge for "sexual perversion".
