Featured Film: On These Shoulders We Stand
Directed by:
Glenne McElhinney

Former Outlet Volunteer!


As seen in OUTFEST Film Festival LA! This is a great documentary film with LGBT Oral History in Los Angeles from LGBT elders!!

"Eleven elders of the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender community in Los Angeles chronicle gay life from the 1950s into the early 1980s. The film brings to light Los Angeles' hidden gay history by interweaving first person accounts with narration and unprecedented access to seldom-seen archival materials."
