Word Is Out: Stories of Some of Our Lives (1977)

Directed by Rob Epstein, Nancy Adair, Lucy Massie Phenix, Veronica Selver, Peter Adair, Andrew Brown

“26 Gay Americans”

Documentary · 2h 12m

More than two dozen men and women of various backgrounds, ages, and races talk to the camera about being gay or lesbian. Their stories are arranged in loose chronology: early years, fitting in (which for some meant marriage), coming out, establishing adult identities, and reflecting on how things have changed and how things should be.
