Forbidden love. The unashamed stories of lesbian lives

Your Playlist:

Description

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.
