Watch: Netflix Shares Trailer for Doc About Gay Adult Store 'Circus of Books'

Netflix is sharing the trailer for "Circus of Books," a new documentary about a long-running gay porn shop in Los Angeles.

Co-produced by Ryan Murphy ("American Horror Story," "Pose"), "Circus of Books" tells the story of the straight button-up owners of the titular shop that sold gay pornography for more than three decades. Per Netflix's synopsis:

For 35-plus years, the gay porn shop Circus of Books gave Los Angeles' LGBT+ community a space to socialize and celebrate themselves without judgment. Unbeknownst to many customers, the store was cultivated by owners Karen and Barry Mason, a straight, mainstream couple with three children who went to religious school and were unaware of their parents' business. The Masons long refused to disclose the nature of their business to friends or family. While maintaining the secret, they witnessed the dawn of the HIV/AIDS epidemic firsthand, losing a generation of treasured employees. Still, during that time, they never identified as activists – just everyday entrepreneurs catering to a market, until the Internet destroyed it. Executive produced by Ryan Murphy, 'Circus of Books' is the debut documentary from artist Rachel Mason, who finally asks the least radical people she knows – her parents – how they became America's biggest distributors of gay porn, and why Karen reacted so negatively when her own son came out of the closet.

The movie hits Netflix on April 22. Check out the trailer below.
