No Secret Anymore: The Times of Del Martin & Phyllis Lyon

When Martin and Lyon courageously launched the Daughters of Bilitis in 1955, it became the first public organization for lesbians in America. With incisive interviews, rare archival images and warmhearted humor, No Secret Anymore traces the emergence of lesbians from the fear of discovery to an expectation of equality.

DVD Extras: Exclusive footage from the Castro Theatre premiere and an interview with Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi.

"...an inspirational love story." 
—Joshua Sanchez, IndieWire

Screaming Queens: The Riot at Compton's Cafeteria

EMMY Award-winning Screaming Queens tells the little-known story of the first known act of collective, violent resistance to the social oppression of queer and transgender people in the United States — a 1966 riot in San Francisco’s impoverished Tenderloin neighborhood, three years before the famous gay riot at New York’s Stonewall Inn.  Integrating the riot’s story into the broader fabric of American life, the documentary connects the event to urban renewal, anti-war activism, civil rights and sexual liberation.

Winner of a Northern California EMMY® for Outstanding Achievement, Historical/Cultural Program.

Tongues Untied

The stories are fierce examples of homophobia and racism: the man refused entry to a gay bar because of his color; the college student left bleeding on the sidewalk after a gay-bashing; the loneliness and isolation of the drag queen.  Yet they also affirm the black gay male experience: protest marches, smoky bars, "snap diva," humorous "musicology" and vogue dancers.

DVD Extras: 1991 Interview with director Marlon T. Riggs, Interviews with Isaac Julien, Phill Wilson, Juba Kalamka, and Herman Gray.

"A black male warrior fighting for the right to love other black men, Marlon Riggs affirms what was nearly lost, newly found: the certainty that black male lives are utterly precious."
—Alice Walker, Author, The Color Purple

Tricia's Wedding

The world-famous Cockettes enact Tricia Nixon's wedding to Edward Cox on June 11, 1971. Hurtme O. Hurtme, television correspondent, covers the wedding and interviews celebrities in attendance such as Golda Meir, Indira Gandhi, Jacqueline Onassis, Queen Elizabeth, and Elizabeth Taylor. Coretta King sings. During the reception, Eartha Kitt puts LSD in the punch. All hell breaks loose.

Witness the political satire and see for yourself why Truman Capote called the Cockettes “the most outrageous thing I have ever seen!”
