More than two dozen men and women of various backgrounds, ages, and races talk to the camera about being gay or lesbian. Their stories are arranged in loose chronology: early years, fitting in (which for some meant marriage), coming out, establishing adult identities, and reflecting on how things have changed and how things should be.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was filmed during Anita Bryant's 'Save Our Children' crusade. These 26 people risked everything to exist on camera while the culture war declared them unfit.
Elsa Gidlow at 78, garden witch of the lesbian avant-garde, basically steals the entire film with three sentences about loving women. You'll know it when you see it.
