FILM SYNOPSIS

aGLIFF is proud to present the World Premiere of Call Me Troy at this year's 20th anniversary of the Austin Gay & Lesbian Film Festival, the first ever opening night documentary in the festival's history. Profiling the life and times of one of the gay community's most visible and tenacious advocates for change, Rev. Troy Perry, Call Me Troy is a truly inspirational story about a remarkable and dynamic individual whose activism was decades ahead of its time.

Rev. Perry is perhaps best known as the founder of the Metropolitan Community Church - the first church to recognize the spiritual needs of the gay community - but his “firsts” don’t stop there. He was the first openly gay person to serve on the Los Angeles County Commission on Human Relations. In 1969, Perry performed the first public same-sex wedding in the U.S., and in 1970 he filed the first-ever lawsuit seeking legal recognition for same-gender marriages. From presidential advisor to outspoken advocate, Perry has been on the front lines leading the charge for equal rights and protections for gay men and lesbians the world over as well as providing a place for all people, gay and straight, to worship side by side. This film celebrates his life and his legacy.

Director/Producer Scott Bloom, Co-Producer Larry Diamond, and Rev. Perry himself will be present at the aGLIFF 20th Anniversary Opening Night Party. Be prepared to be inspired, and find out what it truly means to "go first class."
