Life for gay women in California during the 1940s, '50s, and '60s revolved around lesbian bars, which served as cultural hubs and communities for outcasts, sinners, and criminals. These bars played a "sacred" role, providing a safe space for self-identified gay women to socialize, share stories, and fight for their rights. Through interviews, archival photos, and animation, the documentary "The HomoFiles" tells the stories of these courageous activists, whose contributions to the LGBTQ movement are often overlooked. As the population of lesbian bars dwindles, with many disappearing from major US cities, it is crucial to document and share these stories to honor the dignity and integrity of these pioneering women.
