Queens & Cowboys: A Straight Year on the Gay Rodeo
Movie · Documentary · LGBTQ

Roping and riding across North America, the International Gay Rodeo Association's courageous cowboys and cowgirls brave challenges both in and out of the arena on their quest to qualify for the World Finals. Along the way, they’ll bust every stereotype in the book. The film tells the story of five members of the IGRA. From Wade Earp, a descendant of cowboy legend Wyatt Earp and one of the best competitors on the circuit, to Char Duran, a female bull rider who’s never won a buckle but seems determined to die trying, “QUEENS & COWBOYS” weaves the stories of its protagonists over the course of an entire rabble-rousing year. An unprecedented look at the strength it takes to be gay in the rural west, this film explores the many struggles threatening the IGRA and the gay community at large, how far society has come on the subject of gay equality, and how far we still have to go.
