Caitlyn Jenner. Laverne Cox. Caroline Cossey.
These three women are probably among the most famous transgender people in the U.S. But they do not represent the entirety of the transgender community, which adds to the importance of HBO’s new documentary The Trans List, premiering Monday, Dec. 5 at 8 p.m. Et.
The film, a follow-up to 2009’s The Black List and 2013’s The Out List, directed by photographer and filmmaker Timothy Greenfield-Sanders and produced by Janet Mock, attempts to expand the scope of the transgender community during 11 new interviews with -- yes -- Jenner, Cox and Cossey, but also names that not by be familiar to many Americans, including longtime activist Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, photographer Amos Mac, U.S. Army Sergeant Shane Ortega and adult entertainer Buck Angel.
“We wanted a youth perspective, we wanted an elder’s perspective, we wanted a trans Latina perspective, we wanted folk who were nonbinary,” Mock tells Et...

Today, there are more openly trans people than ever before, but many trans Americans still contend with discrimination, criminalization, suicide and violence.

Manuel is working his way through all the Lgbt-themed HBO productions.
Last week we looked at the recent doc Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures which works as a nice primer on the famed photographer and, as is par for the course for films on gay icons from a certain era, as a portrait of a man working tirelessly to make the most of his ever winnowing time: Mapplethorpe died at age 42 of AIDS complications. We’re not going too far afield this week, as we’re focusing on a documentary on “America’s angriest AIDS activist” in Jean Carlomusto’s Larry Kramer in Love and Anger.
Kramer should be familiar to you. We’ve previously encountered him and talked about his righteous anger when we talked about The Normal Heart, and by that point he had already made HBO appearances in The Out List, Vito, and Outrage. That enough should...

Manuel is working his way through all the Lgbt-themed HBO productions.
Last week we talked about the thrilling and necessary anger fueling Larry Kramer’s The Normal Heart, something not even Ryan Murphy’s at times clumsy direction could quell. From that we turn to what might be the limpest most inessential HBO Lgbt film I have encountered in this entire series (sorry, The Out List, you had a good run): Ben Cotner and Ryan White’s The Case Against 8.
There’s a fascinating, informative, and entertaining doc to be made about the circuitous road to overturning California’s same-sex marriage ban, but Cotner and White’s film isn’t it...

Last week we looked at Steven Soderbergh’s Behind the Candelabra, a horror movie of sorts which we all agreed is not as good as the sum of its talented parts. This week we look at Timothy Greenfield-Sanders’s The Out List (Watch Online), a documentary that’s easier to admire than to enjoy.
I actually hesitate in calling it a “documentary” since it’s just a collection of on-camera interviews seemingly strung together one next to the other. Thus, we spend a couple of minutes with Neil Patrick Harris as he discusses his struggles as an out actor. We then hear about Janet Mock’s decision to take up trans rights activism in earnest. We move onto Dustin Lance Black’s experience of growing up in a religious family… and so on and so forth. Each interview is...

HBO premiered Timothy Greenfield-Sanders' documentary "The Out List" last month, in which a diverse cross-section of Americans share personal and professional stories -- both heart-wrenching and triumphant -- of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer experience.
Now, a companion coffee table book is available, featuring Greenfield-Sanders' portraits, text from the interviews by Sam McConnell and an introduction by President Obama's inaugural poet Richard Blanco.
Activist and actor, politician and provocateur, drag queen, and athlete all share personal stories that set them apart and tie them together, revealing a poignant, familiar journey to find themselves and secure a place in modern society. The subjects in "The Out List" are celebrated not just for being "out" and visible in their own lives, but also because they share a sense of responsibility for the greater community and for the betterment of future generations.
