LEARN’d – Historic Butch Queen Energy▪️”Oh, this is my chance to really feel myself. And say, yes…. I’m The Bitch!!” – Portrait Of Jason (1967)
Shirley Clarke filmed Aaron Payne, aka Jason Holliday, a charismatic, unbothered self-proclaimed gay black street hustler for 12 hours talking about his life in her Chelsea apartment.
The 105-minute film follows Jason carrying, drinking & smoking while sharing stories and observations of the black gay experience in America during the 1960s. A must-watch!
