"Unbridled Pride: A Glimpse into California's Gay Rodeo"

Duncans Mills, a small town in rural California, hosts an annual gay rodeo that attracts hundreds of visitors. The event, affiliated with the International Gay Rodeo Association, features various rodeo competitions where participants, regardless of gender, can compete in all the events. For many, the gay rodeo is not just about the sport but also about finding a supportive community. While the organization is struggling to attract a new generation of riders, participants appreciate the opportunity to compete in both the conventional and queer spaces. The rodeo concludes with a night of dancing and drag, and the finals will be held in Oklahoma to determine the best all-around queer cowboy and girl in the world.
