Rights and Reactions: Lesbian & Gay Rights on Trial
In this 1987 documentary, the issue before the New York City Council is a resolution concerning gay rights. The voices of citizens and witnesses for and against this resolution are heard as they testify, and in interviews in the council chamber and on the sidewalk outside. Advocates on either side of the issue are shown to be earnest and sincere, and despite the fact that emotions are running high during the debate, basic civility somehow prevails.
Halloweenie
A ridiculous mini-doc about Bill Daughton and his creation of a six-foot penis costume at the Halloween Parade in Greenwich Village, New York. See Daughton dressed up in the giant penis costume, walking around campus, catching the subway, and chatting with people about the costume on his way to the Halloween Parade.
Not All Parents Are Straight
What’s it like to live in a household where the parents are gay or lesbian? Interviews with the members of six such families explore how prejudice against the parents can affect the children, how the children feel about their parents sexual orientation, custody problems, and other issues that arise in a non-traditional family.
