The(ir) Blurb...

A group of LGBT people over 40 describe to young people about their experiences coming outing the 1980s. The film covers AIDS, ACT UP, Queer Nation, the government response to AIDS, protests, The AIDS Memorial Quilt and the second National March on Washington. This is the fourth in a series of COMING OUT films that compare and contrast the coming out experience in different decades in the late 20th century and give their ideas and wisdom to a group of upcoming activists.
