TRANScripts

Joshua Irving Gershick is a playwright, author, journalist and filmmaker whose
work illuminates the lives of Queer Americans who’ve been hidden from

into the larger legacy of transgendered lives in America. Gershik’s other plays

letters written in the 1950s & 60s, to L.A.’s ONE Magazine, the first openly LGBTQ
periodical in the United States – and Bluebonnet Court, winner of the GLAAD
Award.  His short film Door Prize has screened at more than 125 film festivals
worldwide and was winner of the Alfred C. Kinsey Award, honoring films that
furthers understanding of gender or sexuality. His books include Gay Old Girls, a
Lambda Literary Award finalist and winner of the ForeWord Book of the Year
Award for Best LGBT Nonfiction; Secret Service: Untold Stories of Lesbians in the
Military, also winner of the ForeWord Award; and the forthcoming, Admitting
Privileges.
