“#HBO Max’s ‘Equal’ Shines a Light on Lesser-Known LGBTQ+ Activists<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Lesser-known activists get their turn in the spotlight with HBO Max’s Equal<\/em>.
<\/b><\/p>\n

Slain politico Harvey Milk and late agitator Larry Kramer are a few familiar names from the LGBTQ+ civil rights movement. However, other unsung yet influential heroes helped lead the charge.<\/p>\n

This four-episode docuseries<\/a> (with script<\/a>ed reenactments) from executive producers Greg Berlanti (You<\/i>) and Jim Parsons (The<\/i> Big Bang Theory<\/i>) aims to “round out characters in order to expand into uncharted places,” says director Stephen Kijak.<\/p>\n

He helmed three of the four installments, which dig into early advocacy organizations, transgender history, the Black community\u2019s involvement in the movement and the 1969 Stonewall Riots’ impact.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since archival footage for some people and events is scarce, the reenactments help fill in the gaps. Included in the star-studded cast: The Hand<\/i>maid\u2019s Tale<\/i>‘s Samira Wiley as lesbian playwright Lorraine Hansberry and Star Trek: Discovery’<\/i>s Anthony Rapp as Harry Hay, founder of the Mattachine Society, one of the earliest gay rights groups.<\/p>\n

Says Kijak, “We tried to reinterpret what might have gone on to create more of a living sense of these people.”<\/p>\n
