The documentary Submerged Queer Spaces explores queer history through urban archeology, examining the remnants of historic sites and buildings in San Francisco. The film features eight interview subjects sharing their personal experiences in these lost environments, including Gerald Fabien, who recounts tales of pre-WWII gay San Francisco, and Guy Clark and Jae Whitaker, who discuss the racism they faced in supposedly liberal, gay San Francisco.
