‘Pride’ offers snapshots in the battle for LGBTQ rights across the decades
“Pride” offers an off-the-beaten-track history of LGBTQ experiences and activism in the US from the 1950s to the present, with different filmmakers undertaking each decade/episode. Even diced up that way it’s a lot to cover, most effective when it comes to highlighting key individuals and moments than connecting those dots.
Indeed, the format of this FX project which precedes Pride Month and coincides with the final season of the network’s Emmy-nominated drama “Pose” ensures that the result will provide snapshots of the gay-rights movement, eliding over certain events while emphasizing less-heralded ones.
