There is a flood of documentary film out there. It has become a genre which includes the elderly celebrity's photo album as well as raw footage of disaster, plague and war. There are multiple documentary libraries now available to a consumer. It is not easy to stand out. This documentary does.

This film's format is ideally constructed for educating people about the experience of being different, being an individual, in the vastness of human population. The direct contact with the faces of narrators penetrated my jaded viewing mind in a way that voice-over cannot. As gay/lesbian activists, we learned this back in the 1970's with the powerful documentary "Word Is Out" (1977).

The execution of the format by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders elevates the form to one of elegant beauty. The art of simplicity is perhaps the most demanding. This film exemplifies its execution. I found that every moment intrigued and captivated me because of the nuances of facial expression and words, beautifully woven with its editing. A video painting. This aspect of the film would encourage me to pursue the other "List" productions.

I'm 10 years late to the game however, better late than never.

As a hetro male who believes in equality on all levels, I had an idea how this documentary would play out. Boy, was I wrong.

I know I don't know everything but, my eyes were open watching this doc.

There is one thing I absolutely hate, catagorical qualfication. Why do gay, lesbian, etc. Are expected to introduce themselves as being their sexual selves? I'm hetro male yet, I don't have to introduce myself as "name" and I'm straight.

Thankfully things have moved on since this documentary however, even 10 years after, there are things need to be done. What is forgotten, and needs to be addressed is, the fear of hetro people. Are they afraid they will be "turned"?

This film is an excellent piece of cinema, important for LGBT rights. It discusses honestly and candidly the obstacles and prejudice's faced by the LGBT community both in the past and now and talks about how we as a community of people can work to overcome these obstacles. All in all it's a brilliant film. However, there is one community of people who are widely overlooked and even prejudiced against within the LGBT community, and that is the B's! In this film, a cast of 16 wonderful, proud and inspirational people, a bisexual is only represented by one of them! And even Cynthia Nixon says, without any irony or sadness, that she identifies herself as 'Gay' to other people because 'It makes things easier'. Bisexuality is often seen as 'a phase' or given negative association such as being bisexual makes you sexually promiscuous or 'greedy'. We need more information and representation for the B's in the LGBT community, and in my opinion, this film sadly falls short!
