Description

How much do you really know about Vancouver's queer history? Come learn some of the stories they didn't teach you in school - what life was like in Vancouver for LBGT people in the past and how it came to be the way it is today. This workshop for youth is completely free and will start with a presentation by Vancouver queer activist Ron Dutton, including a question and answer period. After this, we will cozy up with some popcorn and warm apple cider to watch three 20 minute films commissioned by the Queer History Project: Director The Portside (by Daphne Marlat and Aerlyn Weissman), The Love That Won't Shut Up (by Ivan E. Coyote and Veda Hille), and Rex vs. Singh (by John Greyson, Richard Fung, and Ali Kazimi). www.igniteyouthfest.ca for more information.

Guidelines for reader comments

Submissions go directly online, without being seen by editors. So, it’s important that you follow the laws against defamation. Do that by keeping your comments focussed on issues, and on your ideas and opinions. Do not get personal and do not defame others. If you see defamatory comments made in other people’s postings, report them to our moderator, who will investigate within two business days.

Your comment must directly relate to the subject of the article.

Avoid confusing statements; express your thoughts clearly and succinctly so readers will understand your opinion. Do not post superficial comments, such as a short phrase or just a few words.

Do not post promotions of products, services or events. If you see such postings, report them to our moderator, who will investigate within two business days.

Your comment and name may also be published in an Xtra paper.

Publication of your comments on Xtra.ca or in an Xtra paper is not an endorsement of your views by Xtra.ca or Pink Triangle Press.
