Summary:

With a fist full of credit cards and a lucky run at the track, Franco Stevens launched Curve in the early '90s, the best-selling lesbian magazine ever published. Ahead of the Curve is a must-see documentary for anyone hoping to understand LGBTQ+ women's history. Against the hostile backdrop of hate crimes and family rejection, with few celebrities or politicians willing to be out publicly, Curve magazine dared to show that lesbians, queer women, and non-binary people are fully human. Franco revisits Curve's original mission, connecting with queer women leading today who share the belief that "true visibility looks like us being the authors of our own experience" and that "any type of visibility is radical, political."
