Rodeos certainly aren’t seen as stereotypically gay places, but that doesn’t mean LGBT don’t have anything to do with them. Indeed, as the documentary Queens And Cowboys sets out to show, there’s even an International Gay Rodeo Association.
Now the film has launched an IndieGoGo campaign to raise $25,500 to get the film completed and ready for screening.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘”QUEENS & COWBOYS: A Straight Year on the Gay Rodeo” chronicles a complete season of the International Gay Rodeo Association through the lens of a straight, city-raised filmmaker named Matt Livadary. Roping and riding in 15 rodeos across North America that year, the IGRA’s courageous cowboys and cowgirls brave challenges both in and out of the arena on their quest to qualify for the World Finals in October. And along the way, they’ll bust every stereotype in the book.
‘But it’s more than just cowboys and rodeos. The film exposes the world to the unsung LGBT community of both the old and new west. Examining where our country currently stands on the issue of gay rights, this uniquely American subject explores how far we’ve come, and what challenges we still have ahead.’
