Parade: Queer Acts of Love & Resistance

Join us for our third editon of Qflix Club hosted by Health Initiative for Men. The film, Parade: Queer Acts of Love & Resistance captures pivotal moments that sparked Canada’s 2SLGBTQI+ movement, honouring the activists and elders whose resistance led to the rights we have today.

Following the screening there will be a 30 minute panel discussion with queer elders hosted by Ella Lamoureux. A concession with treats and non-alcohol beverages will be available.

Through rarely seen archival footage and first-person accounts, audiences are brought to the frontlines of the struggle. From police raids to early drag shows, community organizing to the House of Commons—the complex history of the country’s diverse communities is brought to life. Key milestones illustrate the power of taking it into the streets and underscore how easily the rights we’ve fought for can be revoked, making the documentary essential viewing for all Canadians.

Unflinching, bold, enraging, hopeful; Parade is a vital new chapter in the queer canon.
