Word Is Out is a groundbreaking documentary that gave voice to the American gay and lesbian experience at a time when LGBTQ+ stories were almost entirely absent from mainstream media. Released in 1977, this powerful film weaves together interviews with 26 gay men and women from diverse backgrounds—young and old, urban and rural, Black, white, and Latino—who speak openly about their lives, loves, struggles, and triumphs.
Each subject shares their journey of self-discovery, coming out, family, discrimination, and finding community. From quiet reflections to joyful defiance, their stories form a deeply human and collective portrait of queer life in the 20th century.
More than just a film, Word Is Out became a cultural milestone: the first feature-length documentary about gay identity made by gay filmmakers, and a vital affirmation of dignity, visibility, and pride.
