Adaptation Distillation: The documentary is a worthy adaptation of the Vito Russo book, managing to include and expand on many of the ideas from the book. The film also benefits from the new medium, being able to show scenes that Russo could only describe.

Ambiguously Gay: This was the most common kind of portrayal starting out in films, as people discuss. Usually they would just display some "camp" and otherwise stereotypical behaviors (almost always men, although some women too), with nothing explicit (what's now called "queer coding").
