CGiii Comment
It's the same old, same old of the gay sexual awakening (in New York, only New York - it seems that San Francisco doesn't exist).
Too many photographs, too many personal testimonies...from 18 people who were there - seriously, this is only interesting to those that were there - what about the rest of us?!?
The repetition is mind-blowing - over and over again we are told how they met and had sex - so fucking boring - really, and let's face it, nothing has changed.
So incredibly un-worthwhile.

The(ir) Blurb...
Thirteen men and one woman look back at gay life and sex in Manhattan and Fire Island - from Stonewall (June, 1969) to the first reporting on AIDS (June, 1981). They describe the rapid move from repression to celebration, from the removal of shame to joy, the on-going search for "someone," the freedom before AIDS, the friendships, and brotherhood. They take us through cruising and sex in public places, the drug scene, the bars and the baths, the birth of entertainment and dance clubs, and starry nights on Fire Island. Photographs, home movies, newsreels, and film clips illustrate the story. A few contemporary "what did the 70's mean?" man-in-the-street takes end the documentary.
