Description

In Post Queer Pride 93, Brenda and Glennda attend the New York City Queer Pride Parade. This video marks the return of Brenda after her relocation to Florida, and Glennda interviews her about the queer scene and gay activism in the South. At the parade, they conduct interviews with queers about the postqueer movement, the leather and SM scene, feminism, and capitalism. In doing so, Brenda and Glennda discuss questions of representation, conflicting methods of gay activism, and the concept of horizontal hostility. After the show, an excerpt from “Fertile La Toyah Jackson Video Magazine”' is seen, in which Hollywood drag queens are interviewed about their looks.


An episode of Glennda and Friends, hosted by Glennda Orgasm and Brenda Sexual. Featuring Post Queer Cocksucker, Otto, and Smurfette.

About Glenn Belverio

Glenn Belverio is an independent film and video maker who lives and works in New York City.

In 1993, the series became Glennda and Friends, a post-queer talk show featuring provocative co-stars such as gay pornographer Bruce LaBruce and guerrilla scholar Camille Paglia. Belverio and Paglia's collaborative project Glennda and Camille Do Downtown later became a short film, and was well received at the 1994 Sundance Film Festival.
