PERVERS/CITE: the underside of pride

PERVERS/CIT�: LA FACE CACH�E DE LA FIERT�! La Coalition de Montr�al pr�sente une Fiert� alternative.
Tandis que la police s�vit contre les jeunes des rues et qu’un essaim de sponsors commerciaux d�roule le tapis arc-en-ciel en pr�paration du festival Divers/Cit� de cette ann�e, une coalition de queers de Montr�al met en avant une vision diff�rente de la Fiert�. Du 25 juillet au 3 Ao�t, Pervers/Cit� propose une s�rie d’�v�nements r�partis sur une dizaine de jours, qui abordent des questions qui sont de plus en plus marginalis�es par les pr�occupations du principal courant gay � et ce avec une tendance impudemment radicale.
� Il faut que quelqu’un le dise haut et fort : Divers/Cit� s’est perdu en chemin. Il devient chaque ann�e plus commercial et moins responsable envers ses racines puis�es dans la lib�ration queer, � d�clare un des membres organisateurs, Doreen Gray. � Nous voulions �laborer une s�rie d’�v�nements qui ne se r�sume pas � des f�tes, mais qui r�introduise aussi les pr�occupations politiques dans la Fiert� pour permettre aux gens de s’engager activement dans un d�bat sur les questions qui concernent nos communaut�s. On n’a pas besoin de sponsors commerciaux pour y parvenir, et on n’a pas non plus besoin de tarifs d’entr�e exorbitants. �
Steven Gordon, qui a particip� aux �v�nements des ann�es pr�c�dentes, est attir�(e) par le principe de gratuit� / prix-libre inh�rent � tous les �v�nements: � Quatre-vingt cinq dollars pour une party? Ce n’est vraiment pas de cette fa�on que je suis fier(e)! �
Les �v�nements d�marrent avec Faggity Ass Friday’s Gayrobics night, une soir�e de soutien o� la recette est revers�e au Projet Sens d’�ducation sexuelle par les pairs, le vendredi 25 juillet. Parmi les autres �v�nements qui auront lieu tout au long de la semaine, on compte La Fiert� Emprisonn�e, un d�bat sur les probl�mes auxquels doivent faire face les prisonniers queers et trans au Canada, Une Visite Guid�e Historique du Montr�al D�viant, et un atelier sur la Justice Immigrante Queer et Trans. Sur une note plus l�g�re, il y aura aussi une soir�e de projection de films en plein air intitul�e Homotopia Sous les Marches, un jeu de � Capture the Fag �, et Plus Saoul, Moins Mari�, un party queercore anti-mariage. Pervers/Cit� se conclut le dimanche 3 ao�t, avec l’�dition inaugurale de Queer Entre les Couvertures, une foire aux livres qui pr�sente des librairies, des maisons d’�dition, et des distributeurs de fanzines de tout l’Est Canadien.

PERVERS/CIT� : THE UNDERSIDE OF PRIDE!
Montreal Coalition Presents and Alternative Pride.
As police crack down on street youth and a bevy of corporate sponsors roll out the rainbow carpet in preparation for this year’s Divers/Cit� festival, a coalition of Montreal queers is putting forth a different vision of Pride. Running from July 25 to August 3, Pervers/Cit� is a ten-day series of events addressing issues increasingly pushed to the margins by the mainstream gay agenda – and with a shameless radical bent.
“Someone just needs to come out and say it : Divers/Cit� has lost its way. Each year it just becomes more and more corporate and less and less accountable to its roots in queer liberation,” says organizing member Doreen Gray, “We wanted to put together a series that had not only parties, but also reintroed the politics into ‘Pride’ to actively engage people in a discussion about issues in our communities. You don’t need corporate sponsors for that, and you don’t need exorbitant entrance fees. ”
Steven Gordon, a participant in last years events, is drawn by the free/pay-what-you-can principle underlying all of the events : “Eighty-five dollars for a party? I’m really not that kind of proud!”
Events kick-off with Faggity Ass Fridays’ Gayrobics dance party, a fundraiser for the Sense Project, peer-led sex education, on Friday July 25th. Other events throughout the week include Imprisoned Pride, a panel discussing issues faced by queer and trans prisoners in Canada, An Historical Walking Tour of Bent Montreal, and a workshop on Queer & Trans Migrant Justice. On a lighter note, there’s an outdoor film evening entitled Homotopia Under the Stars, a game of Capture the Fag, and More Drunk, Less Married, a queercore anti-marriage party. Pervers/Cit� wraps up on Sunday August 3, with the inaugural edition of Queer Between the Covers, a bookfair featuring bookstores, publishers, and zine distros from across Eastern Canada.

HOMOTOPIA UNDER THE STARS

a montreal/new york/san francisco/vancouver/& more evening of film shorts, plus one or possibly two feature length films! under the stars if the weather is good, and inside the ste emilie skillshare if the weather is not good. either way, the event is happening at 3942 ste. emilie.

Calling all young people of colour and Indigenous people, ages 16 – 30!

to participate in a summer anti-racism training through radio, art and
other workshops in order to gain skills to help you fight for your
rights, your people and what you believe in.

We’re looking for people who…
- want to fight racism, and all forms of discrimination and oppression
- want to get involved (or more involved) in social and political
issues in their communities
- want to hang out / share experiences / learn with and from other
young people of colour and Indigenous people.

Snap! Moving to Our Own Beats is…

Snap! is a summer program for young people of colour and Indigenous
people, ages 16 to 30, to learn skills, share ideas and gain
experiences that will help us change the world we live in ending
racism and all forms of discrimination and oppression that affect us.

We are moving to our own beats because this is a program for youth, by
youth. We believe that we know best what affects us, and how we can -
and do – affect change.

We are currently looking for young people of colour and Indigenous
people in Montreal to attend our summer program, which takes place
over three weekends in August, with a graduation party at the end of
September. Snap! is designed for people of all levels of experience -
from those who want to get involved but don’t know where to start, to
long-time activists who want to strengthen the movement.

Snap! is a combination of analytical, practical and creative skills
training. Some of the issues we will be covering include…
- the prison system
- capitalism and the military
- gender and sexuality, and
- building community alternatives.

Some of the hands on practical skills we’ll be learning are
- EVENT ORGANIZING
- SPEAKING OUT
- POPULAR THEATRE
- SILKSCREENING and STENCIL MAKING
- DESKTOP PUBLISHING and WEBSITE DESIGN. To see the full schedule,
check out the website (snap.mahost.org)

This year, the Snap! program includes two creative group projects – a
radio production project in collaboration with CKUT Radio McGill, and
a visual arts project in collaboration with the Ste. Emilie
Skillshare. Participants will work together on these projects, and the
final products will be launched at the Snap! Graduation/Vernissage at
the end of September.

The program is FREE, with scholarships/bursaries/stipends (i.e. $$$)
available to participants on a needs basis (see the application form).

If you are interested in being a participant of Snap! please fill in a
snapplication form. Spaces are limited!
