Pride: In Conversation with Michael Rowe

All ages

Delve into a critical moment in Canadian queer history and uncover the strength of early gay rights activists with this special event at The Screening Room. Presented in collaboration with Kingston Pride and ReelOut Arts Project, Kingston WritersFest invites you to sit down for a conversation with award-winning writer Michael Rowe on Pride, his new book that examines Toronto’s first gay rights march on its 50th anniversary.

Michael will be joined on stage by Trevor Campbell, host and creator of the You Made Me Queer podcast, for a discussion on how this important march laid the groundwork for one of the world’s largest gay festivals, and the challenges the queer community continues to face today.
