OutHistory presented the first public showing of a documentary film about long-time gay activist Randy Wicker. The 50 minute film, produced and directed by Michael Kasino, uses interviews, movies, and still photos to detail the life of this ornery, eccentric gay pioneer. OutHistory is grateful to Kasino for giving the site the chance to premier his film during LGBTQ Pride Month, 2015. The film has music by Moby. Randy Wicker describes himself as a trans-aged male (young man trapped in an old body) who has been a LGBT activist since 1958, and a sex freedom activist since 1962. He was also an anti-Vietnam-War button merchant (1965-1971), the founder of LeMar (legalize marijuana) in 1964, the world's first cloning activist since 1997, and a transgender fashion activist since 2007.
