              <text>From YouTube description: In 1978 I took my Bolex H16 downtown to shoot this "two-roll" documentary of Gay Pride day. Although the wind-up Bolex is completely unsuited for lip-sync sound, I also brought a cassette recorder and it almost worked to capture some people speaking! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The final version made from A/B/C rolls was my first color film finished with an optical soundtrack! This version was digitized from one of those prints. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Casse Culver and her Bella Starr Band provide the music, "&lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=883kyZW-YOA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;What are we going to do about Anita?&lt;/a&gt;" (1977).</text>

"The first speaker is Mayo Lee, then-President of the Gay Activists Alliance.  Richard Maulsby, who I think was then President of the Gertrude Stein Democratic Club, appears denouncing Councilmember Doug Moore, who was trying to be Washington's answer to Anita Bryant in the '78 elections. Moore's landslide defeat, coupled with Marion Barry's upset victory in the Mayoral race, made Gay Power a permanent reality here.  I spotted Jim Zais, another ex-GAA President by then, in the background at one point."</text>
