After he?s mislead and rejected by a straight guy, a frustrated, angry, gay man struggles to regain his personal power by trying to control, bed and degrade a straight hustler with a dangerous drug addiction.
"After a humiliating rejection, an emasculated homosexual seeks vindication by seducing and degrading a drug-addicted hustler." I think that's pretty much the above condensed, but as TOAST says ... the stakes are so low (and your protagonist quite unsympathetic) such that when I read the above I askRead more
“After a humiliating rejection, an emasculated homosexual seeks vindication by seducing and degrading a drug-addicted hustler.”
I think that’s pretty much the above condensed, but as TOAST says … the stakes are so low (and your protagonist quite unsympathetic) such that when I read the above I ask … “WHY?” What does your protagonist get by doing this? What does he stand to lose?

Your protagonist's goal is a bit muddied by "documenting her family's new life". Keep it primal, focused. The goal surely is to protect her sister?

Your protagonist’s goal is a bit muddied by “documenting her family’s new life”. Keep it primal, focused. The goal surely is to protect her sister? What is the end-goal of protecting her sister – as in, does that mean she’s going to try and find a cure for the virus, or is there another threat attacking her sister while someone else tries to cure her? Who is your protagonist protecting her sister from?
See lessYoung William Randolph Hearst goes to war against an ageing Joseph Pulitzer as each tries to monopolize coverage of a mysterious homicide capturing New York?s imagination, birthing the modern concept of sensationalist media coverage.
I don't know who or what your protagonist and antagonist is/are ... I assume reporters or newspaper editors?

I don’t know who or what your protagonist and antagonist is/are … I assume reporters or newspaper editors? The name “Pulitzer” should probably give me some indication, BUT … let’s assume that I am a producer you’ve just pitched the script to … am I expected to go and look it up on wikipedia, learn about the real people and events, before I can decide whether I think your story is compelling enough to read?
Also … unless I am a history scholar, I have no personal connection with these characters yet, so AVOID using their names. With the excpetion of writing an entry into an existing franchise, stick with CHARACTER FLAW and then one other identifier (FATHER / REPORTER / DETECTIVE / MENTAL PATIENT).
“Goes to war” would probably work, if I knew the “world” in which these characters operated. Media … but specifically newspapers? Does one character specifically try to block the other character out of reporting the event?
There’s a story here but I’m confused by your logline.
