The Trans Killer
A self-hating teen named Daniel who's conflicted about his identity. Daniel is aware that he's different from other teenage boys his age with his interest in women's clothing, nail polish, and male crushes.He acknowledges that he feels like a woman inside, but he is conflicted over whether these feelings are acceptable because he is the son of a pastor. On Daniel’s eighteenth birthday, after years of sorrow, he embraces his identity and tells his family. To no surprise, he receives intense backlash. From death threats, public teasing, family neglect, and even a family member committing suicide. Daniel reads the suicide note, and it seems to encourage Daniel to act out certain Bible scriptures. Reading the Bible passages sparks a fire in Daniel to turn his back on his identity and display ways of violence and hatred onto other LGBTQIA members, as a calling from God. Unaware how this will come back to haunt him.

The Encyclopedia of LGBTQIA+ Portrayals in American Film
"A valuable reference guide for film collections and LGBTQIA+ studies." — Library Journal, Starred Review The depictions of LGBTQIA+ characters in film have always varied immensely.
