In the early days of the pandemic, Andrea Meyerson, founder of Women On A Roll, launched an online platform for lesbians and queer women. She called it Women On The Net. Five nights a week, Meyerson provided a place for women all over the world to gather and share a wide range of entertaining programming. Feelings of isolation and loneliness were replaced with joy, laughter, and new friends - all via Zoom. An Unexpected Community captures the magic these women shared during one of the most challenging events in our lifetime.

Two lesbian therapists struggle to keep up the pretense of staying together when a documentary film crew invades their home after the success of their book "How to Succeed in Marriage without Even Trying."

It's the annual Dinah Shore weekend, and thousands of lesbians are in Palm Springs. The women are sexy, the parties are wild, but what do the locals think?

Rachel flees NYC after another traumatic breakup and arrives at her parents' home in San Diego. They are adamant to see their wayward daughter settle down with a nice girl. Rachel goes on several blind dates that misfire badly. She finally lets her mother set her up with Christine, a typical Californian girl. Much to Rachel's chagrin, mom is right! Meanwhile, Rachel's friends wait for her to screw up the relationship. They know, even if she won't admit it, that she still carries a torch for her ex-girlfriend and they're not sure what would happen if she reappeared to reclaim Rachel.

Bold, brash and fearless Suzanne Westenhoefer performs to a sold-out audience at The Village Theatre in Hollywood, CA. Suzanne began doing stand-up as one of the first openly gay comedians performing gay comedy to straight audiences in mainstream comedy clubs. Suzanne Westenhoefer starred in her own HBO Special, earning her a Cable ACE Award for Best Comedy Special, and appeared on numerous TV shows including Politically Incorrect, Evening at the Improv, Caroline's Comedy Hour and HBO's Arli$$. Recently appeared as the first-ever out lesbian or gay comedian to perform on Late Show with David Letterman!

Filmed live in Indianapolis in front of a crowd as diverse as her material, Suzanne Fires off hysterical rifts about her quirky family, wild gay cruises and struggles with strap-ons - proving once again why her girlfriend calls her the Mayor of Inappropriate Land. Claiming innocently that she's just talking about everyday things - like what happen when you have sex, what happens when your parents walk in on you having sex - Suzanne's irreverently real style has everyone in the audience - gay or straight - turning to one another and gasping, That's me! Timeless, delicious and always outrageous, Suzanne's broad-based brand of humor crosses over the colorful spectrum of life, covering just about everything that can happen to you when you're living large from the bottom to the top!

Four women who are lesbian comedians perform and, offstage, talk about their lives: parents and childhood, coming out, becoming comics, the arc of their careers, and its rewards. Marga Gómez is Cuban-Puerto Rican, from New York City. She mines cultural differences, her hobby horse, and National Coming Out Day. Kate Clinton, lapsed Catholic, gets laughs there and from the comedy of the sex act. Karen Williams, African-American from Berkeley, talks about aging and about the need to tell her story. Suzanne Westenhoefer inherits her grandfather's humor, and she jokes about Martha Stewart and airport security. Each is serious about the power of humor to reveal what's at her core.

A positive mix of stand-up and sketch comedy by some of today's funniest gay and lesbian comedians. Filmed before a live audience at San Francisco's Great American Music Hall on October 11, 1993, National Coming Out Day.
