00:00It's fun having her behind the camera.
00:16Have you noticed that?
00:17Yeah, absolutely.
00:19Look at this.
00:19Oh, she's on her knees.
00:21God, I haven't had a woman on her knees for me for a long time.
00:25I've never in my life been without lipstick ever since I was, what, 15 years old.
00:30You just do it, because if you're a good Southern girl, you want your lips to be pink.
00:36Can I really take you on a bit of a tour?
00:39You're not going to fall out the back door?
00:41Nope.
00:41Okay, watch it.
00:42We're going up a little hill.
00:43Don't fall out on the hill.
00:45Hold on to each other's hands.
00:47We are encouraging relationships among women.

01:00Here we go, girls.
01:02Sorry, it's a rough ride.
01:05It's easy to fight.

01:46here today.
01:49Sally Gerhardt, she was radical, lesbian, feminist lighthouse.
01:56Before I even met her, when I saw Word is Out, I was mesmerized by her.
02:02A lot of the ways that I just sort of even was in the world was oftentimes in an attempt
02:06to hide the fact that, you know, I was a lesbian.
02:10I did not wish to be discovered.
02:13To see someone just sit up there and own it in her body, own it in her language.
02:19I think I'm a lesbian.
02:21I really think I'm a lesbian.
02:24I just love women's bodies as well as their society.
02:28You know, the words that come to my mind, I felt like she was sexy.
02:32Everything about her was as glamorous as a radical lesbian could be, you know?
02:42She just had it.
02:45And we all fell in love with her.
