Gay Sex in the 70s
Directed by Joseph F. Lovett
A warm, reflective documentary portrait of a liberated gay community in its brief golden age, told through intimate personal testimony and historical memory.
A chronicle of gay culture in New York during the post-Stonewall, pre-AIDs era. Thirteen men and one woman look back at gay life and sex in Manhattan and Fire Island - from Stonewall (June, 1969) to the first reporting on AIDS (June, 1981). They describe the rapid move from repression to celebration, from the removal of shame to joy, the on-going search for "someone," the freedom before AIDS, the friendships, and brotherhood.
