LGBT’s people are everywhere in the media. With this surge of exposure some of our vast community tends to get forgotten. When mainstream media isn’t a platform for support most people go an create their own venue.
One group greatly underrepresented is Transgender people of color, which is probably why the new web series Eden’s Garden is becoming popular with only a trailer released.
Echoing Logo’s gone-before-its time comedy Noah’s Arc, which revolved around the a tight-knit group of non-trans black gay men in Los Angeles, Eden’s Garden will “go there” with images and stories of trans men of color that viewing audiences have never seen elswhere. Notably, three out of the five main characters are either bisexual or pansexual, while main character Eden’s storyline portrays an underexplored narrative of love between a straight trans man and trans woman.
The show aims to expose audiences to numerous aspects of what King calls “trans-reality” — including dating while trans, trans men in same-sex relationships, HIV and AIDS, and gay- and trans-bashing — all grounded in themes enshrined by the show’s character-driven dramedy predecessors: sex, love, betrayal, and friendship.
Premiering this summer, the 13-episode show will offer audiences an unprecedented look into the everyday lives and loves of black and Latino trans men in New York City.
