Word Is Out: Stories of Some of Our Lives

"26 Gay Americans"

1977-01-31 Documentary 2hr 12m

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.
