Explore the moment in time that helped form one of the largest gay pride festivals in the world.
Lambda-award-winning writer Michael Rowe joins KWF, in collaboration with Kingston Pride and Reelout Arts Project, for a conversation about PRIDE — a book that reflects on the 50th anniversary of Toronto’s first gay rights march.
Trevor Campbell, host and creator of the You Made Me Queer podcast, will sit down with Michael to discuss the history of this pivotal moment and the challenges the queer community has faced since.
A gorgeous slideshow will accompany the onstage conversation —120 photographs by artist Angel Guerra whose portraits shine a light on moments of joy, strength, ferocity, resilience and love.
At a time when 2SLGBTQI+ rights are under renewed threat throughout the world, this is an opportunity to connect with community and offer solidarity, as well as celebrate. Join us the following day for a tour through the county on our Sips and Scribes PEC Wine Tour fundraiser! https://www.facebook.com/events/436121532499576/

A Q&A and book signing will follow the onstage event.
