In this Season 5 prologue of DGP, we explore how VHS technology, the AIDS crisis, and a new generation of filmmakers and stars transformed gay adult cinema from underground entertainment into a powerful form of visibility, identity, and survival.
This is the first part of the story of the 1980s gay porn revolution — the people, the films, and the moment that reshaped the industry.
