Queermonton: BUCK ANGEL
Getting personal with Buck
Tamara Gorzalka
http://www.vueweekly.com/article.php?id=13784I interviewed porn star and educator Buck Angel two weeks ago at a bathhouse before his final engagement as part of the Exposure Festival. In the first part of our chat we discussed the intricacies of his films—the second half gets a bit more personal.
VUE WEEKLY: You're the only recognizable actor of your ilk at this point but you've said that you want to see more transmen adult actors.
BUCK ANGEL: Of course! The whole point of me starting this is to make it into a genre and it is not a genre. A genre is something that has a whole bunch of other people. In a sense I wanted to help guys have a really good body image about themselves. I have a very specific visual of how I want my porn to look, how I want the guys that come under the Buck Angel label to look. There's other people producing stuff with some trans guys in it, but my vision was muscular guys. That's what I envisioned my female-to-male transsexual porn to look like. I'm not saying that's how it all has to look, but that's the Buck Angel vision. But I haven't found any guys comfortable enough to really put themselves out there like I have.
