It’s hard to imagine that the mid-1990’s was 30 years ago!
We had our first Baby Boomer president, and we could not stop “Thinking About Tomorrow”. If you were really cool you had a Blackberry, a first-generation Nintendo or PlayStation, and if you were really, really cool you had already upgraded from a Walkman to a Discman.
In the 1990’s Homosexuality was no longer considered an illness by the World Health Organization.
In 1991, the red ribbon became the international symbol of AIDS awareness. AIDS became the number one cause of death for U.S. men aged 25-44 years old in 1992. By 1994, AIDS became the leading cause of death for all Americans ages 25-44 years old.
On TV and movies, more LGBT characters were added that their sexual preference were not their defining character. In 1993, President Bill Clinton announced an end to a longtime ban on gay men and women serving in the U.S. military. The new policy was a compromise that pleased neither conservatives nor gay rights advocates. But it was a step on a long road to today’s military policy of inclusiveness and support of its LGBTQ+ members. In 1999, Clinton officially declared in a presidential proclamation, June “Gay and Lesbian Pride Month”.
When selecting our films for Pride Month, we chose films aimed to be insightful, nostalgist, educational and most important entertaining for the entire South Florida Community.
We would love for everyone to send comments to info@fliff.com that we can add to this page with their opinions and memories.
