This is a state of emergency. In response to an unprecedented surge in gay hate murders, a hidden battle is playing out across America. On one side are The Pink Pistols, the world’s first LGBTQ pro-guns corps taking up weapons to defend queer people everywhere; on the other are the Gays Against Guns, a rival squadron working to outlaw firearms and prevent violence of any kind. With exclusive access into both camps, award winning documentarian Patrick Abboud embeds inside these opposing forces aligned in their global mission to save LGBTQIA+ lives. Taking us behind closed doors, Pat investigates the complex motivations fuelling their high stakes fight for equality. GAYS WITH GUNS is an urgent documentary revealing the most provocative, unexpected, concerning clap back against homophobia and transphobia the world will see. This project is currently in development for production in the second half of 2025.
