Queers 'N Steers

Queers 'N Steers provides a heartwarming insight into queer memory and community-building within the Texas Gay Rodeo Association. Through interviews with members of the group and footage of their rodeos, Horsfield reveals the association’s bold defiance in confronting stereotypes and fear. Being queer can certainly mean a multitude of things for the members of the Texas Gay Rodeo Association. In the video, which was produced in the shadow of the HIV/AIDS crisis, expectations of sexuality and gender are undermined in a space that is often outside the realm of typical queer representation. A new notion of community is ultimately presented in reconfigured ideas of kinship, self-identity, and American tradition.
