Word Is Out: Stories of Some of Our Lives

26 Gay Americans

50%(11)IMDbDocumentary

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.

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