- Description
- During New York City's Stonewall 25 and Gay Pride celebration in 1994, John Gettings shot black-and-white portraits of gay and lesbian couples, and later recorded their comments about their lives and their love for each other. The result is a collection, a compendium of words and images that provide the clearest window yet into the thoughts, emotions, and devotion of same-sex couples and their struggles and joys enroute to each other. These are not celebrity gays, but ordinary citizens from all walks of life (accountants, teachers, lawyers, bartenders, chauffers, corporate executives) and many regions and backgrounds.
