- Summary:
- "See how a powerless gay community in 1972 fought the police and City Hall protesting Vice Squad round-ups of gay men and harassment of the gay and lesbian community -- and won! Hear the 1973 voices of the community at City Council refuse to back down from threats of arrest, and eventually win over a majority of City Council -- during those times of extreme homophobia and heterosexism. Watch how a few began to bring gay liberation to Denver and quickly built, from the grass roots, a broad based, highly developed gay community with its own supportive institutions"--Publisher's website.
