  • The Only Gay Cowboy

    The Only Gay Cowboy
    Dec 11 2024
    How do you grapple with being in love with the rodeo and rural spaces when you’re also in love with other men?

    In this episode of Pride, Levi sits down with Scott Terry, a true legend in the world of cowboys and rodeo stars. Despite Scott appearing to be the stereotypical masculine legend from the Old West, his sexuality and abusive upbringing led him to believe he was the only gay cowboy in the world. But he wasn’t.
    What we talk about:
    • Scott’s journey from rural Montana to gay rodeo star
    • Growing up with Jehovah’s Witnesses
    • Grappling with his sexuality and finding a space in the queer community
    • His new book The Gift coming out in February of 2025
