for someone who be not familiar with the history of gay and lesbian cinema and this be an outstanding introduction to the subject . i be fascinate with the early gay film and the fact that they be basically picture of muscle men . i can imagine the governator in some of these film . what be significant and more important than the lack of film be the fact that gay and lesbian youth do not have any role model to tell them that they be ok in how they felt . how many suicide result in a lack of gay film and gay actor on television . take u through the early day to today and think about the future of gay and lesbian film and it be an eyeopening experience and a must see for anyone interested in cinema history .
