Jack, a gay cowboy from Nebraska, finds anything but the promised land he envisioned when he visits a San Francisco gay club for the first time. Cowboy Boots explores the intersection of accepting one’s sexual identity and trying to find the community in which it can reside. It is at once a dive into the longings and desires of a young, rural gay man and the realities of being a newcomer in a world that he doesn’t know or understand. While the story is queer in nature, the themes of finding one’s place, and the discomfort that comes along with doing so, are universal.
