Lesbian Lips

The comedy circuit was mostly male and largely homophobic when the four lesbian comics brought their wickedly funny, biting truths to stages from New York to San Francisco. The climate for gays and lesbians was different before kd lang, Melissa Etheridge or Ellen DeGeneres came out publicly, and the comics reveal what it was like being out entertainers before gays and lesbians had access to prime time. This fast-paced, hour-long film tracks the women from childhood to coming out to creating a niche as "out" performers, rousing both gay and straight audiences.
