Tennessee Queer tells the story of Jason Potts, a man living happily with his partner in New York, who finds out on a trip home that the small-town in Tennessee where he grew up is still less than accepting of homosexuals. In an effort to make things easier for the gay and lesbian teens of the community, Potts decides to organize a gay pride parade. Unfortunately, a politician and a ultra-conservative minister intend to use the parade for their own agenda causing a clash of religion, politics, and gay pride.
I recently caught a screening of the film at the Oxford Film Festival and was able to sit down with the film’s star Christian Walker, and its executive producer and writer Mark Jones to talk about the film. We talked about Jones’ inspiration for the story, the straight Walker’s experience playing a gay man, and much more.
