A valiant attempt by ABC to reflect on the struggles of the LGBT community over the past 50 years, but the story pacing is rather slow and uninteresting. Some of the characters are passable, but most of the acting falls flat. Also, these are the most over the top affectionate couples, gay or straight, that I've seen. A little unrealistic. But this is somewhat balanced by the gravity of the subject matter and sorrow of those who lost their lives and fought for future complacent generations.
