Introducing Cowboy Boots
June 27th, 2026 LGBTQI+: Pride on Screen
Program 3- 11 am- 1 pm
Jack, a gay cowboy from Nebraska, dreams of finding his promised land—freedom, acceptance, a place to belong. But when he visits a San Francisco gay club for the first time, he discovers that the road to belonging is more complicated than he imagined.
Directed by Eric K Delehoy, a passionate advocate for q***r stories and a seasoned creator dedicated to amplifying underrepresented voices, Cowboy Boots explores identity, love, and the search for home in a world full of surprises.
About Eric K Delehoy:With an MFA in Creative Writing from Antioch University Los Angeles, Eric has spent four decades leading within the q***r community—serving as Executive Director of a non-profit q***r center, founding literary presses, and supporting q***r candidates for public office. His fiction and poetry have appeared in numerous publications, and his work is driven by a mission to bridge gaps and foster inclusion.
Director’s Statement:"My goal with Harriet Productions is to tell stories that break down barriers and challenge perceptions. Cowboy Boots is about the journeys we all take—sometimes unexpected, sometimes painful—but always worth the walk toward understanding and acceptance."
