With guides from the LGBTQ community, Ellen and Ian explore India and attempt to understand how the country can evolve while maintaining its deep-rooted traditions.

Ian travels to France, a city he once lived in as a student, to look at what it's like for LGBTQ persons whose stories and struggles are often hidden.

Ian sets out on a road trip to explore the culture of gay communities in the Deep South as well as the serious issues and stigmas they still face.
