'I think of all the Black trans and Latinx trans women who were living in New York at a time when there was no protection... and in many ways that experience mirrors the experience that they are having today.' StevenCanals
Canals serendipitously met with long-time Ryan Murphy collaborator Sherry Marsh, who connected them. Murphy, the prolific TV powerhouse, used his cis white male privilege for good.
"I think what was great about my partnership with Ryan is that he wasn't precious about the material," Canals said."He was working to adapt, and it wasn't coming together, and then he and I met. He came in ultra-collaborative, but I also think he was hyper-aware that this isn't his story. There is a part of this narrative that isn't mine either.
"The very first time I met him, he said to me, 'My name is Hector, I'm part of the House of Xtravaganza, but you can call me Grandfather.'"premieres on FX on June 11, once again during Pride month, and a mighty significant Pride at that because it's aligned with Stonewall's 50th anniversary.and Stonewall's 50th anniversary are enmeshed so closely together and celebrate the truest thing: acknowledging trans women of color as foundational figures.
"We have Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P. Johnson to thank for being resilient. For being strong, for being subversive, for speaking up of the community," Canals said."But the reality is that your modern-day LGBT movement was built on the backs of trans women of color. And so was the ballroom community, frankly. Ballroom community was built on the backs of Crystal Labeija, and some of the other trans women who were important were Pepper Labeija, Dorian Corey.
Canals, along with Golden Globe-nominated Billy Porter and Our Lady J will also make their directorial debuts."I think I'm going to approach directing in the same way that I've approached crafting this narrative, which is, in a very humble way, with a tons of gratitude, but also with a really critical lens.
