Synopsis

A twist on the hippie movement’s spirited outdoor gatherings, Los Angeles’ first “Gay-In”s took place in Griffith Park in the early 1970s. This short is a rare document of both the visions of revelry and bypassing voices of dissent as gays and lesbians first began to publicly celebrate their identities.
