Only watched this documentary because I saw Scott Thompson was in it.
"Exploring the history of LGBTQ+ stand-up comedy and its importance as an instrument for social change over the past five decades. Queer comics challenge the status quo and never deny an audience the power of laughter."
The parts that focused on the 50s to the 90s were actually good and interesting. When they started getting into the modern era the topics changed from getting blacklisted because you were gay to whining that people made fun of trannies and non-binary retards. Nobody seemed to see the hypocrisy in the majority of the doc being about how wrong it was that if you were a gay comedian you could not get platformed outside of comedy clubs and then outright saying it's fucked up that Netflix is platforming Chappelle.
Oh, and Judy Gold was in it. She sucked as usual.
