Sexuality researcher, Jane Fleishman, shares the stories of nine
fearless elders in the LGBTQ community who came of age around the
time of Stonewall. In candid interviews, they lay bare their
struggles, their strengths, their activism and their sexual
liberation in the context of the political movements of the 1960s,
1970s and today. Each has spent a lifetime fighting for liberation,
for the right to live, love and be free. Each has faced challenges
arising from their sexual orientation, gender, race, ethnicity,
religion, politics, disabilities, kinkiness, nonmonogamy and other
identities. With unflinching directness, the elders interviewed
explore their struggles within the LGBTQ community: Were they the
"right" kind of lesbians or gay men? Were they scrutinised more
critically because they came out as bi? Was there insidious racism
or classism keeping them down just when they thought they'd finally
come home? Were they called names or looked down upon for choosing
to be paid for sex, for being fat, for having kinky sexual
practices? Were their political credentials dissected when they
wore the "wrong" kinds of clothes or lived in the "wrong" kinds of
places? What political movements made an impact on them? How did
their sexual lives as young people inform their sexual lives as
adults? These are the stories of those whose lives were changed
forever by Stonewall and who became agents of change themselves. We
need to hear these voices.
