So in honor of Gay Pride month, WTTW Channel 11 aired a documentary tonight called "Out & Proud in Chicago." It traced the history of the gay movement from the earliest days of the city through the present.
If you didn't see it, you must see when it's going to be aired in your area, or order the dvd. I subscribed to Channel 11, mostly because I wanted the dvd of this film-- sans pledge breaks. With my subscription I also get the coffee table book and the baseball cap. I can't explain why I felt so proud.
It might have been the fact that transgender diva extraordinaire Alexandra Billings was interviewed. And was wonderful.
It might have been the fact that the community was portrayed in such an honest, historically relevent way. And was inspiring.
Or it might just have been that I really felt empowered by the legacy left by the trailblazers.
Find this documentary. Watch it. Then do something gay.
