Back to listSynopsis
Jo and Allie, a trans couple from Sunnyside, Queens, have built a life together that defies easy categorization. Their journey begins with a serendipitous meeting on a dating app in 2016, leading to their marriage two years later, yet their path is filled with challenges they could never have anticipated. Despite the persistent discrimination and systemic barriers they face as trans individuals, their love remains their guiding force. As they navigate their transitions, careers, and family dynamics, resilience, support, and fulfillment prevail. Through moments of joy and vulnerability, My Sunnyside invites viewers into the intimate and evolving world of two people committed to forging a future together, even as the unexpected continues to reshape their lives. Tender, compassionate, and uplifting, their story becomes a celebration of love, identity, belonging, and the transformative power of finding family in the most surprising places.
