Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City is an upcoming American drama web television miniseries set to premiere on June 7, 2019, on Netflix. The show follows Mary Ann (Laura Linney), who returns home to San Francisco and is reunited with her daughter Shawna (Ellen Page) and ex-husband Brian (Paul Gross), twenty years after leaving them behind to pursue her career. Fleeing the midlife crisis that her picture perfect Connecticut life created, Mary Ann returns home to her chosen family and will quickly be drawn back into the orbit of Anna Madrigal (Olympia Dukakis) and the residents of 28 Barbary Lane.

For Today I Am a Boy, performed by Antony and the Johnsons, is reflective of the queer content featured prominently in Tales of the City and its adaptations. Since the original release of the song, the lead singer has come out as a member of the trans community. Anohni (born Antony Hegarty) is a transgender woman and uses the pronouns she/her. In an interview with Flavorwire in November 2014 she stated, "My closest friends and family use feminine pronouns for me. I have not mandated the press do one thing or another... In my personal life I prefer 'she'. I think words are important. To call a person by their chosen gender is to honor their spirit, their life and contribution."
