| Summary: | Compelling, often hilarious and always rebellious, the women interviewed in Forbidden Love recount stories about their first loves and their search for the places where openly gay women gathered in mid-20th century urban centers. Against a soundtrack of pop hits and a backdrop of pulp novel covers, archival footage, and tabloid headlines, these women's coming-of-age experiences in the 1950s and '60s are explored with grace, humor, and irreverence. With the candor of survivors of struggle, the women offer an affecting portrait of a community once consigned to silence and exile. Forbidden Love brings an important and empowering history of lesbian sexuality in Canada out of the closet. Re-mastered in HD. |
