Just how homophobic was America in the 90s? Gay sex was still illegal in several US states until this landmark Supreme Court ruling just 20 years ago. This meant that out gay people in those states were seen as criminals. That would sometimes cost them jobs, housing or even custody and visitation of their children. And, even when it didn't, the threat was always over their heads.

We're celebrating the anniversary of the end of second-class citizenship for gays and lesbians with a four-episode deep dive into the case, its profound impact on American culture, and the wildly diverse team of amazing people it took to change the world forever (hopefully).

Kickass Queers shares the incredible life stories of amazing lesbian, gay, transgender, gender-nonconforming and otherwise queer people. You'll meet many of them in our very first miniseries, right after we set the scene in this installment.
