As sister of a bisexual sister this program was so important to get more knowledge of gay and lesbian history and always work against prejudices and see we are people. Sexual preference is just a small part of what we are. Have also a first cousin and second cousin that is gay. So no place for prejudices here .❤
Amongst all the great stuff here, I have to say how nice it is to know the proper pronunciation of “Mattachine” and “Bilitis”. Even if I’ve been saying them wrong for decades! 😀
I was born in December 1982 and have only really watched "Dynasty" in reruns though I remember my mom watching it when I was young along with "Dallas" and "Knots Landing." I wondered how gay men felt at the time about Steven wavering back and forth on his sexuality in "Dynasty." I found the opening remark about Steven popping in and out of the closet amusing. 😄
"...we should tear off the ugly green frog skin and find the beautiful fairy prince underneath...and i hope all the young ones find the beautiful fairy prince, tomorrow!"
The host of this show,, they guy with the mustache, was he the basis of the gay character briefly seen in in one scene of the new movie "Eyes of Tammy Faye" He looks just like him
I regret not being part of the community more . Straight society is so clique-ish . I , being bisexual , decided to pursue a straight heteronormative life with a wife and 3 kids and have no direct regrets about that decision . I love my family life . I should probably have pursued a little more fellowship with the gay community though . Its a rich history with titanic triumphs and humonguous setbacks from Stonewall to The AIDS epidemic . Now that my kids are out as bisexual and nonbinary I feel like I am feeling a draw back towards gay activism as a duty as a loving father .

I'm a fan of Vito Russo . I was unaware of Harry Hay. I commented about the documentaries that were very well done.
Good too see this. RIP Vito Russo
Amazing, inspiring filmed'lesson we constantly revisit. On a humorous angle here, I wonder how often Harry Hay was greeted with, "HEEEYYY Harry!!!"

These 2 don't pronounce it correctly...

I think they were being ironic!!!
The History here is amazing!
I love this!
This is amazing
See the Before Stonewall and After Stonewall documentaries. Excellent movies.
After sucked, before was good..
if you notice at the end of the show, they were looking for film footage for the doc..
