Army of Lovers or Revolt of the Perverts

Lovers, Perverts, and Transexual Menaces: Six Films By Rosa von Praunheim

Shot over the course of seven years, ARMY OF LOVERS OR REVOLT OF THE PERVERTS traces the development and splintering of the American gay rights movement from the forming of the Mattachine Society and Daughters of Bilitis in the 1950s through the fight against the Briggs Initiative at the end of the 1970s. A wide-ranging portrait featuring everyone from gay porno legend Fred Halsted to Anita Bryant and beyond, this controversial film is a crucial document of the liberation era and a condemnation of gay complacency that still resonates.
