This Tuesday, “Dateline” heads to America’s Gay Rodeo, getting to know the people at the heart of this unique cowboy culture. The episode spends time with the cowboys and cowgirls who compete, celebrating an event with a long history – it’s the longest-running of its kind.
It’s not just about the barrel racing or bull riding, though. “Dateline” also looks at how this community comes together, especially considering the social and political discussions happening in America around the time of filming during the Trump era. You’ll see how the rodeo serves as a space for connection and strength, built around a shared passion. It’s about identity, finding acceptance, and building common ground, even when times feel divided.
You can catch this “Dateline” report, known for its detailed stories from around the world, on Tuesday, 6 May at 9:30 PM AEST on SBS.
