P.S.Queerguru would love you to bits if you did us one tiny favor. Despite the fact that we have had almost 295K hits on YouTube (yeah!) they will not give us a single cent of the advertising money that they make off us until we have more subscribers. Won’t cost you a dime, but it will help support our site. Just simply click on the link below. Thank you very much!
Filmed by Dan Desjardins: Edited & Directed by Roger Walker-Dack

Filmmaker Norah Shapiro talked to queerguru about her wonderfully uplifting documentary Time For Ilhan that is the story of an extraordinary Somali woman Ilhan Omar who, against seemingly insurmountable odds, was elected to the Minnesota State Legislature (Interestingly enough her campaign staff was packed full of gay men & women)
Now Florida can see the legendary all-male ballet troupe Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo on stage and on the screen. This very talented American all-male drag ballet corps which parodies the conventions and clichés of romantic and classical ballet are on tour and playing at several venues in the State including the Adrienne Arsht Center in Miami on March 4th.
The much-beloved group originally formed back in 1974 (and who said gay men never stick to anything …) and last year was the subject of an exhilarating documentary that too picked up numerous awards when it was first released. Rebels on Pointe is now available on DVD from Amazon and all the usual retailers, but when it first premiered in Miami queerguru sat down with director Bobbi Jo Hart to find out how she managed to persuade the guys to let her cameras go backstage and right in their faces (!) for the very first time. It all makes for fascinating viewing and makes you appreciate their live performances even more.
(The movie has been nominated for a Queerty Award of Best Documentary which is decided by votes from the public: if you want to add yours go to https://queerty.com/)
