this is one of the great low-budget "queer cinema" triumphs of the 90s'....
contrary to the above commenter, i do think the details are right... and yes, the cops were homophobic.. they used arcane, outdated laws to close gay bars.. have u read the book "stonewall"? they make it very clear that lots of bars - gay and str8 - were "illegal".. only the gay ones were shut down..
i was very impressed by the right-on details in the production design..
