About Beyond the Heels
The fascination of Transsexuals, Transgenders and Drag Queens has always been a subject of taboo and wonderment, not just with mainstream America, but within it's the LGBT community itself. While these misunderstandings have often led to pain, there is another side to the “Trans” community that needs to be heard. Just like every other man and women in America, members of the Transgender community have families and jobs; they live, love, learn and make mistakes like us all. Beyond The Heels…they are human. "Beyond the Heels: True Life Stories of Transsexuals. Transgenders and Drag Queens" goes behind the veil of pop culture to give an in-depth view of the lives of these courageous individuals, their challenges and their successes. GLO TV is proud to present a show unlike anything we’ve seen before, into the lives of these beautiful yet often misunderstood individuals in a show unlike any ever made before. From the days of Shakespeare, where female roles were played by men, to the mainstream success of films and TV shows such as RuPaul’s Drag Race, there has always been both a fascination and misunderstanding of what it means to be Transgender. Far more than a “man who puts on a dress” or “drag queens”, the Transgender Community encompasses a diverse and complex mix of people, all who struggle with forging their own identity in a society that consistently tries to place them in a box.
