Calling all: queers, homos, transfolk, gender benders and blenders, fierce femmes, leather daddies and mamas, poets, voguers, artists, brazen butches, freaks, riot grrrls and bois, MCs, porn stars, singers, dancers and ruckus causers!
Organizers of tomorrow’s day of action for queer rights have released a call to action against the G8/G20 Summits in Toronto.
June 22, 2010 Day of Action: “Bring your bedazzled balaclavas and colourful masks if you want, along with something hot pink (extra armbands will be available), signs, banners, noisemakers, instruments!”
Meet: 4:30 pm @ Queen Street and Yonge Street.
More info: [email protected]
Among the issues raised are:
–the increased corporatization of Toronto’s Pride festivities and the censorship of community organizations from the march like Queers Against Israeli Apartheid
–the increasing barriers facing queer migrants seeking status in Canada
–the rejection of a new sex education curriculum in Otario
–queer rights being removed from the Canadian citizenship guide by the Conservative government
I sure damn hope that the Roving Kiss-In Action will still go down; I’ve noticed it’s been taken off the Toronto Community Mobilization Network’s calendar. Not that such an event would require much planning, anyway, other than to remember to pack some lip gloss because those luscious lips might get a bit tuckered out.
Please Note: Do not attempt to kiss a police officer. While everyone might be enchanted by how great the event is, touching a cop anywhere on their body with anywhere on your body could lead to an assault charge.
The march will be following the Toronto Community Mobilization Networks’ (TCMN) Guidelines on sexual assault and consent
