Following their breakthrough discovery of homosexuality in seagulls in 1972, George Hunt and Molly Warner tell the story of how "lesbian seagulls" changed the landscape of both the field of science and the LGBTQ+ movement in America.
Love Birds is a short film about two ambitious young scientists, their love story, and a chance discovery that hurtles them into a cultural and political firestorm. While their work makes an indelible mark on history and impacts generations of LGBTQ+ people, it also sets them on course for a breakup that will take decades to heal.
