Each episode is devoted to a decade, beginning with the 1950s – a time where there was a steep rise in US governmental regulations against the LGBTQ+ community, led by Senator Joseph McCarthy.
One episode features the activism and protests of the 1960s, while the 1970s episode uses archival footage and interviews to show how the decade saw the formation of a national movement and the growing strength of Gay Pride.
