Sorry, we don't have images or video for this item.

The issue covered in this video is that of civil rights for gay and lesbian people. The event is the 1986 public hearings in New York City Council Chambers on a proposed local bill to outlaw discrimination on the basis of sexual preference; a Bill which was finally passed. Never before have pro-gay and anti-gay arguments been so passionately and bluntly argued on film.
