The sexy 60s were a time of cultural experimentation and lesbianism on screen got a big boost from this trend. In fact, there were more lesbian-themed films released in this decade than all of them combined from 1914–1959. After the closure of the New York State Censorship Board, lesbian love scenes were more frequent in films. Furthermore, we began to see more international films foray into the topic. Most films were now in color. Also, for the first time some serious films worthy of critical acclaim were released such as Therese and Isabelle. Amazingly, lesbians were no longer being portrayed exclusively as mentally ill or as criminals. Sadly, there was still some of that fare but times were changing. The 70s took the experimentation of the 60s to a whole other level resulting in sexploitation.
