growing up in colorado with his father in the professional rodeo cowboy association, luke gilford spent his formative years around the rodeo, an american institution that has often been associated with conservatism and homophobia. it was only later, after discovering the international gay rodeo association (igra), that he began to see himself as part of a rodeo family. the igra is the organizing body for lgbtq+ cowboy and cowgirl communities in north america—a space created for people of all genders and races. the queer rodeo brings participants from rural regions across america together through educational programs and competitions, creating opportunities to develop athletic skills, build connections, care for animals, and foster personal integrity, confidence, and mutual support.
