The film is about the state and development of the LGBT rights movement in the US after the Stonewall riots of 1969.
J. Hoberman wrote in the Village Voice: "Army of Lovers has its own moments of sentimental stridency, but it´s a heartfelt, challenging, and often stirring film that deserves the widest possible audience."[4]
