A pro-gay masterpiece with every imaginable person-type ... it says all
the things you’ve always yearned to be able to squeeze into one up-front

DATA-BOY

Gay USA was conceived and completed as a
non-profit film. None of the more than 85 people
who worked on the project received any payment.
All labor was donated. Beyond costs ($11,000), all
proceeds go to the Artists United for Gay Rights
Fund to be shared by lesbian and gay men’s
causes equally.

Gay USA is intended for gays and straights. For
gays the film is a joyous document of the
demonstrations/celebrations they marched in or
watched. It is a catalyst - helping all gays come
out for their constitutionally-guaranteed Human

-@aY ‘THE POLITICS OF CELEBRATION

Rights. Gay USA encourages gays to become
more vocal, more visible, open. Straight people
learn about gay life in a positive non-threatening
situation. The movie explodes stereotypes/gay
fathers, lesbian mothers, teachers, people of the
church, the state, the street - individuals all, who
must be approached on their own levels.

Gay USA is a full-length, color feature with
interviews, historical flashbacks of gay oppres-
sion and liberation, and is scored with 6 original
songs. It is designed to entertain, educate,
celebrate.
