A three-part documentary tracing the evolution and internal divisions of the gay community, from LGB to LGBTQIA+, highlighting how expanding definitions of gender and sexuality have reshaped identity politics. It examines conflicts between transgender activists and radical feminists, and considers whether trans people face the same historical prejudices once aimed at homosexuals. The film also explores the rise in trans-identifying teenagers, questioning the influence of social media and societal change, and the impact of recent puberty blocker bans. Guided by historian Mel Adams, it blends historical perspective with insights from experts and LGBTQ+ individuals, probing how past and present debates shape the community’s future.
