Wisconsin Pride

The documentary runs for 107 minutes and offers a comprehensive look at Wisconsin's LGBTQ+ history, beginning with Indigenous perspectives before European colonization. It dives into the 1970s and 1980s, a time when local leaders fought for rights, earning Wisconsin the moniker "The Gay Rights State."

In its second hour, Wisconsin Pride highlights the innovative strategies Wisconsinites employed to combat LGBTQ+ harassment and injustice. Through organized protests, an independent media, and social networks centered around gay bars, the film illustrates how these grassroots efforts laid the groundwork for legislative advancements.

This documentary not only chronicles the historical context but also emphasizes the importance of recognizing and celebrating Wisconsin’s LGBTQ+ past as a means to safeguard and extend human rights for all.
