Keep Your Bigotry Out Of Our Cinemas; Trans.Oklahoma Premiere Forcibly Canceled; ROPE Report SHORT

When Kevin and Janelle Batts - who own and operate Red River Creative Media - set out to document the stories of detransitioners in Oklahoma, they knew it wouldn't be an easy task. 

The stories they heard from the detransitioners, though hopeful in the end, were only so after years and years of turmoil and struggle and the LGBTQ crowd traditionally calls anyone who leaves the community, or says anything negative about the community, hateful and/or bigoted. 

Unfortunately, just two days before the premier of the movie at Rodeo Cinemas in Oklahoma City, the theater canceled the screening due to 'pushback' from various quadrants. 

The Batts had asked Rodeo personnel if they would like to screen the film - Janelle even warned them that the film might be controversial - but the theater promised them they didn't need to see the documentary and that everything would be fine. 

Two days later, the movie was out of a premier home. Watch as Janelle describes exactly what happened that led to the ousting of a private, paid screening of Trans.Oklahoma from an Oklahoma City theater.
