CGiii Comment

26 conversation with gay men and women.

If you have masochistic tendencies and can bear over 2 hours of talking heads - recounting their gay experiences - then, you will have a ball.

It's social history - supposedly.

It's long and it's boring and should be kept under lock and key in a library waiting for some masochistic anthropologists.

The(ir) Blurb...

More than two dozen men and women of various backgrounds, ages, and races talk to the camera about being gay. Their stories are arranged in loose chronology: early years, fitting in (which for some meant marriage), disclosing their sexuality, establishing adult identities, and reflecting on how things have changed and how things should be. Some speak as couples and some as singles. One lost her children in a custody decision, one was dishonorably discharged from the U.S. Army, two were sent to insane asylums. All see social progress as they reflect. News footage and a few vocal performances provide breaks as topics shift.
