The ladies came out in droves June 25 to celebrate the world premiere of Genderblind, an indie effort by local dancer, filmmaker and arts activist LaNita Joseph ( profiled in the June 23 issue of Windy City Times ) . From divine divas and high-femme fashionistas to trendily turned out butches—and every style statement in between—the crowd packed the lobby of the Portage Park Theater for a pre-screening gala and after party. Host Pat McCombs kept the gals revved up as they enjoyed passed hors d'oeuvres, cash bar and DJ tunes. Shot in high definition and running just over two hours, Genderblind's story centers around Sincere, a young African-American dancer played by Robyn Daniels. She struggles to sustain her career, her dignity and Christian religious convictions—all challenged by economic hardship. She also wrestles with her beliefs and sexual identity when she is attracted to Grace ( played by Danielle Jones ) and dives into a lesbian affair with the casual player. Paula Gee adds a comic dimension with her portrayal of a Christian healer and scam artist to whom Sincere turns for help.
