1 1950s: People Had Parties

2 1960s: Riots & Revolutions

The evolution of trans rights and identities through the decades is charted through interviews and archival footage of pioneers including Christine Jorgensen, Flawless Sabrina, Ceyenne Doroshow, Susan Stryker, Kate Bornstein, Dean Spade and Raquel Willis.
3 1970s: The Vanguard of Struggle

4 1980s: Underground
5/21/21
New York City in the 1980s, reinvigorated by the prior era's sexual revolution and the ascendance of the Gay Liberation Front, saw an influx of queer people to downtown Manhattan and the rise of the underground ball scene. At the same time, the AIDS epidemic devastated the gay community as Ronald Reagan and his Moral Majority refused to intervene.
5 1990s: The Culture Wars
5/21/21
The 1990s were supposed to herald a new era for the LGBTQ+ community. With the election of Bill Clinton, they finally had an ally in the White House – or so they thought. The "Culture Wars" were in full swing, and being fought everywhere from Capitol Hill to movie theaters to churches. They devastated communities but also galvanized LGBTQ+ people to create policies and organizations that still fight for equality today.
6 2000s: Y2gay
5/21/21
The 2000s ushered in a new age of queer visibility where gays and lesbians were gaining acceptance in the mainstream media. But even as cisgender white members of the LGBTQ+ community found a place in society, the struggle for trans rights continues, and that fight has only in the present day taken the main stage.

Not a very honest documentary. I live in New York with a lot of this stuff was happening. It's amazing how people are rewriting history with untruths weather puts the movie where the angels in America all plots falls. This movie had little or no truth to read and of course made certain people look evil. It is an example of left-wing propaganda
