CGiii Comment

The pursuit of happiness for the LGBT community continues 50 years after activists protested discrimination against “homosexuals” in front of Philadelphia’s Independence Hall. LGBT elders recall life in the 1960’s, when “gays” were “hidden in plain sight,” vulnerable to arrest and psychiatric treatment, fired from jobs, and publicly shamed.

A thoughtful look back and an intimate look at the present, The Pursuit reminds us that while the past half-century has seen momentous changes, the fight for LGBT rights continues today.
