Outstanding on Netflix

[Manhattan]

Just watched this documentary on Netflix in honor of Pride. 
What starts as an interesting retrospective turns into a parade of silly performers who are not part of my community or lived experience. Any documentary that would include a comic who thinks the World Health Organization knows more about gender than Dave Chapelle has no business being in comedy. 
I know I'm old fashioned and probably filled with self-loathing, but if you are too, skip this one, it won't fill you with pride.

Loved it!
For those of us who have witnessed first hand the evolution of visibility for Queer comics over a few decades, it’s a special treat.

I loved it too! I enjoyed the historical perspective of the gay civil rights movement that spanned 100 years. It captured the pain, inequity, and use of humor to fight back. It was also fun to gain insight into the experience of some of my favorite comedians in and out of the (vertical coffin) closet. So many gems in this documentary. Don't miss it.

This explains a lot of your reviews. 😇
