07 Jun Brand Associates Recommences the Reel Art Film Series

No Straight Lines tells the story of how five scrappy and pioneering LGBTQ cartoonists depicted everything from the AIDS crisis, coming out, and same-sex marriage, to themes of race, gender, and disability. Resisting censorship, these trailblazing artists displayed tremendous courage and conviction in providing an uncensored window into queer lives from the 1970s onward, a time in which there was no other genuine queer storytelling in popular culture, and continuing today. Featuring: Alison Bechdel, Jennifer Camper, Howard Cruse, Rupert Kinnard, and Mary Wings.
