In the latter part of the 1960's the Civil Rights Movement made its way into the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered Community. Across the country LGBT persons defiantly stood up and fought for the right to be out, proud, and equal. Today, the LGBT Community is out and definitely proud; however, they are far from equal. Those who fought for our equalityare older now and are facing an onslaught of discrimination from their government, social service networks, and even from their own Community.

Ten More Good Years introduces remarkable LGBT Elders who share inspiring stories of their lives and Queer History. It is through these stories that the governmental and social injustices quietly reveal themselves, shedding light on what it is now, and what it will be to grow old and Gay in America.

mysummeroflove.gifFor many Summer vacation brings back memories of long lazy days, childhood innocence, and first loves. Those feelings are skillfully captured in the lesbian romance "My Summer of Love".


This film vibrantly charts the emotional and physical hothouse effects that bloom one summer for two young women. Mona, played by Natalie Press, hides an untapped intelligence and a yearning for something beyond the emptiness of her daily life behind a spiky exterior. Tamsin, played by Emily Blunt, is well-educated, spoiled and cynical. As they are complete opposites, each is wary of the other’s differences when they first meet, but this coolness soon melts into mutual fascination, amusement and attraction.

unveiledGerman Film Tells the Story of Iranian Immigrant

The original title of this film is 'Fremde Haut', which means 'in Orbit' - the term officially used by the UN to refer to asylum-seekers who find themselves orbiting around planet Earth because they can actually find legal domicile nowhere at all. This is a perfect description for the main character in this film, Fariba, brilliantly performed by Jasmin Tabatabai.

Throughout the film, Fariba is constantly in conflict: not quite at home in Germany or Iran, not not quite at peace as either straight or gay, not quite at ease as man or as woman.
