Two biographical documentaries, Nancy D. Kates and Bennett Singer's Brother Outsider: The Life of Bayard Rustin (2002) and Joan Elizabeth Biren's No Secret Anymore: The Times of Del Martin and Phylis Lyon (2003), contribute to queer history by illuminating the individual's role in sweeping historical change.

Brother Outsider: The Life of Bayard Rustin (2002) relies on archival footage to trace the civil rights movement in the 1960s, and racism and homophobia in the United States. Rustin, the organizing figure behind the 1963 March on Washington, lived with the possibility that exposure of his homosexuality could harm the momentum of the movement. When the homophobia of his allies and enemies generated public scrutiny, Rustin detached himself from the central figures of the movement but remained an outspoken activist on many civil rights issues. A wealth of archival footage of Rustin provides an insightful personal profile within the sweep of history.

No Secret Anymore: The Times of Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon (2003) covers 50 years in the history of lesbian and gay civil rights. Filmmaker Joan Biren started making the film in 1999, and it premiered on the 50th anniversary of the partnership of Del Martin and Phylis Lyon, activists who were at the forefront of the struggle for glbtq equality. Through documenting their lives, Biren assembles a dynamic history of lesbian rights in the United States and the growth of the glbtq community.
