Rad Queers: Payasos L.A.
September 2012
Smashing taboos and redefining philanthropy, Payasos L.A. is an organization of gay Latino men who wear clown make-up, go-go dance, and try to make the world a better place for future generations. Rad Queers: Payasos L.A. takes a look at the Payasos’ optimistic philosophy as well as their sexy fund-raising parties. “Mr. Los Angeles Leather” 2011 title-holder and Payasos founder Leo Iriarte walks us through the wild world of his happy band of clowns, providing a uniquely personal perspective on this extraordinary group.
Rad Queers: Payasos L.A. has screened at Outfest, Fusion Festival, La Rosa Mixtape and the Latin@ Queer Film Festival Showcase.
