Shades of Gray

Two people, one "evil" and one "good", gradually change places on the spectrum through the incremental choices they make along life's journey.

Joe and Don are happily married gay men, white collar jobs, comfortable but not wealthy. They are also nudists, and participate in a local gay nudist group and sometimes indulge in recreational sexual activities with others. They love and are committed to each other, the occasional sex play has no more meaning than playing cribbage with someone else. Sometimes, they even learn something new to try with each other.

Some religious conservatives move in next door, and while friendly, clearly don't approve. One day, while Don is in his private backyard in the nude, the neighbor, working on his roof, sees him, and the shock of seeing him naked causes him to lose his balance and fall off the roof. Don runs over to see if he's ok or needs help, while people inside, including kids having a birthday party also rush out, hearing the noise of the fall. someone gets bent over the kids seeing a naked man and in the end, legal action gets triggered and Don is branded a sex offender, destroying his and Joe's lives.

Conversely, the person/people who triggered the action, gradually come to realize a horrible miscarriage of justice has been done, as well as reviewing their own attitudes. The damage is done to Joe and Don and how they handle their misfortune, but the religious bigots learn tolerance.

This doesn't demonize the religious people, the intent is to show how they mean well in their own misguided way. indeed, the point of shades of gray is to show the good/evil perspective from both sides and how such black/white views are more destructive than what they're afraid of in the first place.
