At PFLAG Bakersfield's September 4th meeting, we'll be screening the documentary Through The Windows. This film is a documentary about Twin Peaks Tavern, the bar that changed the face of the gay community in the 70's by opening its windows, and the men who dared to be seen. By weaving together the stories of this historic bar, the first known gay bar in the United States to open its windows to the outside, and those of some of the bartenders and patrons who have been going there for almost 40 years, we create an impactful film with stories that are disappearing with the generation that experienced them. Through the interviews, we get glimpses into the gay community from a time that is almost forgotten - when there was no language to describe what it meant to be gay, when gay bars were only down back alleys, and when being gay was still not only taboo, but also illegal.
