Gay USA clip

Arthur Bressan created a gay-America panorama when he commissioned filmmakers throughout the country to record all June 1977 Lesbian and Gay Pride parades and marches. He then cut on-the-street interviews--gay women and men talking about their lovers and how they came out--with the resulting footage, including lesbians marching against housework and drag queens protesting fascism, to create this revolutionary documentary.

"When the Anita Bryant debacle happened I was hurled into making this political documentary. My naive dream was that if we all saw ourselves in our numbers we would never buy into the guilt trip again. Not from Anita Bryant or from [NYC] Mayor Koch or from Cardinal Cook. Not even from AIDS...." —Arthur Bressan

At 1:20 that stupid white fascist American woman has the audacity to say that "homosexualit is condemned by Christ and the bible".....

There is not one sentence in the new testament condemning homosexuality.

Stupid illiterate Americans who confuse the new testament with the old testament and with the racist hate letters of a certain "Saint" Paul.......

@sbtbfanatic:

" I wonder how many of the people in the film have contracted AIDS..."

I wonder what a cynical old gamer idiot you are again.

Gamer victims suffer from general paranoia due to being addicted to their senseless hobby.

Aids had been some time around in Central Africa befor it arose in the west +it is still a primarily heterosexual disease there - as it is also mostly in the west.

You are a very primitive fascist hater spreading "realities" which most people know not to be true.
