Ask Dr. Ruth<\/em>,\u00a0a new documentary following the life of\u00a0Dr. Ruth Westheimer, premiered to strong reviews at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival this past January. Filmed\u00a0on the eve of the media icon’s 90th birthday, the film highlights Dr. Ruth’s long-standing commitment to accelerating LGBTQ-acceptance.<\/p>\n

In the \u201980s, Dr. Ruth\u00a0stood up for gay<\/a> men<\/a> at the height of the AIDS epidemic and spoke out loudly for the LGBTQ community at a time when it wasn\u2019t popular for media figure allies\u00a0to do so publicly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

GLAAD has your exclusive first look at a\u00a0clip from\u00a0Ask Dr. Ruth<\/em>, which highlights Dr. Ruth’s media activism.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Ask Dr. Ruth\u00a0<\/em>premieres in theaters on Friday, May 3rd, and on Hulu on June 1st.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
