Outstanding: A Comedy Revolution

A current streaming doc on Netflix. Opening up on a who's who of gay comics working in the industry (like Margaret Cho, Wanda Sykes, Eddie Izzard, Sandra Bernhard et al), the film unfolds w/talking head anecdotes about gay comedians & the stakes which had to claimed to make it in an industry which holds jokes against homosexuals sacrosanct. Very funny throughout w/a nice overview of the movement (not unlike the similar themed doc The Celluloid Closet from 1995) which by film's end as the participants take the stage for a group bow you feel hopeful for the future where the humorous word about anything can inspire a cancellation crusade.
