| In mainstream gay cinema, the images of the black gay man is somewhat controversial and contrived. Often, he is portrayed as the overly effete stereotype. For the sake of the dollar and to appeal to cross-cultural fetishistic interest to reach a wider audience, he is often shown preferring and seeking out the attentions of white gay men. Writer-director Isaac Julien's LOOKING FOR LANGSTON represents a departure from the status quo of the image of black gay men while also attempting to reclaim ... Read More: |

| I agree with everyone stating the historic importance of this movie. Tede Matthews, the red haired hurricane in the movie was my roommate and best friend when this film came out...He knew it was important then and would be so happy to know that the rest of us are finally catching up. Like so many artist from that time period, we lost Tede to AIDS in the early 1990's. At the same time that Tede was participating in the filming of 'Word is Out' and laying the foundation for many to come... I was singing my way ... Read More: |

| This DVD was shown at a campus-wide event sponsored by the Ally Group called "DocuMovie Night". Reception of the message was fantastic. Everyone present enjoyed all of the facts and ideas presented and, following the stunned/shocked silence following the showing, we had a great discussion. No one who watched this DVD was prepared in the least for one of the greatest and still mostly untold horror of WWII. Truly a MUST-SEE. |

| It was an amazing experience, after going to 4 sessions with a psycologist, so I could come out to my mom, I came across this incredible video. At first I thought it was for teenagers, but I rented it anyways. I'm 29 years old. I could not belive how I felt after seeing it by myself, and that's when I decided to use it to come out. It was a total success with my mom and I, It clarified all of her missconceptions, and made an already good relationship with her, into a Great one! Please rent or buy this informative ...

| This is really a fabulous movie--a great companion to the excellent production of the "Beebo Brinker Chronicles" just closed in NY--a dramatization of this important period of lesbian life--the 1950's, a time of odd "freedom" and horrendous repression.
The film is humorous, wise, and informative--very well made. A classic. |

I found it entertaining and interesting from a historical prospective, with a few interviews that allowed a glimpse of the real person, otherwise not much substance. My feel was that the way they approached was from a voyeuristic angle rather than one looking to gain insight. |

| "Coming Out Under Fire", a short but reflective documentary based on a book of the same name by the late Allan Berube, gives heed to what is still one of the most egregious governmental policies in existence today....."Don't Ask, Don't Tell". The film, where surviving members of the military discuss their service during the Second World War, is at times empathetic but often maddening. The final exchange between Senator John Warner and Colonel Margarethe Cammermeyer regarding the implementation of this policy ends the film with a bang.
