We LOVE free stuff, (even rich people love getting things free of charge: Hello, Gift Bags!) and this evening’s screening of Beyond Gay: The Politics of Pride, is freer than a hippie high on life. “Beyond Gay” is a documentary film about the making pride events all over the world, focuses on “Vancouver Pride Society’s (VPS) Parade Director Ken Coolen and his colleagues as they travel to places where Pride is still steeped in protest to personally experience the rampant homophobia that still exists.” The team visits Pride events in cities ranging from Moscow to São Paulo to Sri Lanka before returning home to Vancouver British Columbia and compares the complex politics of Pride events and what they mean for LGBTQ people and the societies they inhabit.
Presented by Seattle PrideFest, Three Dollar Bill Cinema and Bank of America’s LGBT Pride Group, this powerful and fascinating film screens at the Broadway Performance Hall on the campus of Seattle Central Community College, at the corner of Pine & Broadway. Doors open at 6:30pm and the screening starts at 7pm followed by a Q&A afterward. AND, after that, everyone is invited to Rosebud for a post screening afterparty starting at 9ish.
Oh, and it’s FREE! (Did we mention that?) But, you should also check it out, to get you into the Pride spirit…and to wash the bad taste out of our mouths after all this hoopla and crapola concerning Pride Flag/NeedleGate…
