BEYOND GAY: THE POLITICS OF PRIDE
Thursday, June 30 at 7:30pm
Members: $9 / Public: $13 Includes Reception
Gay Pride marches and festivals are happening all over the world sometimes
under heavy opposition and violence. Beyond Gay The Politics of Pride is
the most comprehensive look at the role of these events ever undertaken. This
feature length documentary follows the Vancouver Pride Society's (VPS) Parade
Director Ken Coolen and his VPS colleagues as they travel to places where Pride
is still steeped in protest to personally experience the rampant homophobia that
still exists. They also travel to Sao Paulo, Brazil for the world's largest gay parade
and New York City, the birthplace of the modern gay liberation movement.
Increasingly the Pride movement is globalizing. Coolen and many Pride organizers
in North America and Europe, where celebration has overtaken political action,
strive to remind their communities that Pride is at its heart a global fight for human rights. Despite the hundreds of thousands of people
cheering in the streets, Pride is much, much more than a parade and a party. It is a giant step on the road to true equality. The GLBT
community during Pride is an entertaining and engaging multi- ethnic group than can bring attention to the issue of human rights with
diversity, insight, and of course plenty of fabulousness. (USA, 2010, 87 mins., DigiBeta, color
