PFLAG x I Changed My Mind: Elton's Story

After his brother passed due to complications of HIV, Elton dedicated his life to advocacy and activism, working to erase the stigmas of gender, sexuality, and HIV/AIDS in Indigenous communities. He also spreads these powerful political and cultural messages through his drag persona, Eartha Quake. 

I Changed My Mind is a series of thought-provoking and inspiring conversations developed by filmmaker Brooke Sebold, produced in collaboration with PFLAG National, that centers parents, families, and LGBTQ+ individuals and their stories of transformation and courage to change and renew.

Watch Elton's story and more in this series on our YouTube.
