Coming Oot! A Fabulous History of Gay Scotland
Documentary featuring a rich mix of eyewitness testimony, archive and historical research to chart the radically changing attitudes towards Scotland's gay community.
Celebrating the postwar history of Scotland's gay community which, over 70 years, has seen gay men and lesbians transform from Scotland's pariahs to Scotland's pride. Using a rich mix of eyewitness testimony, jaw-dropping archive and historical research, the documentary charts radically changing attitudes. Scotland was over a decade behind England and Wales in decriminalising homosexuality but now has the best gay rights in Europe: nothing short of a revolution.
