Hear stories from the sleazy taverns of the past, meet the queer bohemians, the 19th century high school boys, the American soldiers, the Redstockings lesbians, the poets, the artists, the activists and the politicians and learn how LGBT people have risen from the gutter and emerged at the very top of Icelandic politics.
