Gay Power

This footage of the 1971 Christopher Street Liberation Day Parade and Gay-In was shot by the Women’s Liberation Cinema, a group that included Kate Millet, Susan Kleckner, Robin Mide, Lenore Bode and others. They were working together on a documentary which would premiere later that year called Three Lives. What you are looking is raw footage. It is a document of the day. Kate Millet says that the fact that there is something for us to look at tonight, something tangible from their efforts shooting that day, is an accident of history.
