'Queer Power Couples: On Love and Possibility' is a look at different types of LGBTQ+ love, offering a 'map' to future generations.
One of the questions we asked each couple was how they relate to being visible, queer role models. They all felt the weight and the newness of that responsibility — but they weren’t uniformly enthusiastic. “I’d prefer not to be visible,” Gay was quick
to say, “but I think that everyone has responsibilities in a functional society, and if this is one of those responsibilities, then so be it.”At the end of each photoshoot, Billie handed the couple a point and shoot camera and asked them to photograph each other. Producer/director duo Ben and Daniel Barnz’s whole family unit is queer — them and their two kids. But their queerness isn’t always as visible as they’d expect. “Our names were appearing on call sheets together — both as Barnz — there really wasn’t much of a precedent for same-sex couples having the same last name,” Daniel told us. “So people assumed that we were brothers because there is a big precedent for brother filmmaking duos — Coen brothers and a whole bunch of others.
“I’ve had people message me and be like, ‘I’ve never been to Canlis before. And I’ve lived in Seattle my whole life. And I’m Filipino, or I’m queer, and I just made my first reservation,’” Aisha said.Many of the couples who spoke with us shared the long journey between being in the closet and being a visible couple. Norfleet and Hemingway, who met after church in Los Angeles, were no different.
