My friend Gabrielle Burton is working on a spectacular project to raise awareness of gender expression diversity and human rights.
She’s the director of the documentary “Kings, Queens and In-Betweens,” which profiles the lives of a wide spectrum drag performers in Columbus, Ohio. The film illuminates a vibrant gender-bending community in the small city of Columbus. Produced by Five Sisters Productions, a family-run company which Gabrielle helms, the documentary will be a powerful tool for public education and advocacy regarding transgender rights and LGBT equality initiatives such as marriage equality.
Burton has started a Kickstarter campaign for production and distribution of the film. I made a pledge. Can you? I’ve included the really fun trailer with Burton explaining the film below.
And here’s a disclosure and a fun fact. Gabrielle was my date to our high school prom. This was well before I came out to her, or myself for that matter. But I guess we were in a sense a high school gender-bending couple. 🙂
