In this episode of The Queerty Interview, we’re diving back into Boots, Netflix’s powerful new drama inspired by The Pink Marine, the acclaimed memoir by writer and producer Greg Cope White.
Boots adapts White’s real-life story as a closeted Marine recruit navigating identity, masculinity, and belonging in the era before “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” The series brings his funny, emotional, and deeply honest memoir to life — capturing what it meant to serve while hiding a core part of yourself, and how unexpected connection can shape survival.
With Boots now streaming, Queerty’s John Halbach sat down with Greg Cope White to discuss the journey from memoir to Netflix series, the personal moments that made it to the screen, and why the themes of The Pink Marine still resonate so strongly with LGBTQ+ audiences today.
