Lupe Valdez made national headlines in 2004 when she became the first female, Latina, and lesbian sheriff of Dallas County. Thursday night, HBO subscribers will get to learn even more about her in the documentary “The Out List.” Her story is featured alongside a long list of out-and-proud LGBT professionals.

HBO synopsis:

Alternately humorous and poignant, The OUT List features a diverse cross-section of accomplished leaders from entertainment, business, sports and public service sharing intimate stories on childhood, understanding gender and sexuality, building careers while out and reflecting on the challenges still facing the LGBT community. Against the backdrop of historic Supreme Court hearings on same-sex marriage and financial equality, subjects recall joyous moments of acceptance and romance, along with painful instances of intolerance and discrimination, offering unique modern perspectives on being out in America.

Others featured: Ellen DeGeneres, Dustin Lance Black, Wanda Sykes, Lady Bunny, and Neil Patrick Harris. (Just to name a few.)

Thursday June 12, a select few Dallasites had the chance to get a sneak peek at the Angelika Film Center at Mockingbird Station. Valdez and the film’s producers all showed up to answer questions on the documentary.

Don’t worry, everyone else, you can see it tonight on HBO, or whenever you want on HBOGO.
