Criminal Queerness Festival organizer Adam Odsess-Rubin and performer Tyler Bey talked about the making of the festival and what it means for the queer community.

Bey discussed what it means to him to portray these LGBT+ stories from around the world and how the theater community is so accepting.

Odsess-Rubin explained how the queer community is under attack not just internationally, but here in the U.S. as well.

They both shared why it's important to share queer stories.
