“Most
gay adult films did not have director credits for fear of persecution
or retaliation and only screened in private, secretive cinemas. Those
directors had pride in their work and were likely never able to show it.
I wanted this piece to celebrate them, now that we have the freedom to
do so.In 2022, we have bills across the country that seek to
push lgbtq+ people back into the closet, to legislate language, and
persecute parents for supporting their children on their journey as
members of the community.We won’t go back. This piece is a
celebration of our collective past and future as we continue to fight
and progress, despite the bigots that use us as culture war fodder.”
