Fall Updates

From August 16th-25th my new video Don’t Believe the Hype was on view as part of Knot Projections 2019: Imagining Publics in Ottawa. I organized a panel during Capital Pride with Tom Hooper, Ummni Khan, and Darrah Teitel to reflect on the video and the context of the 1969 Criminal Code reform that my video focuses on.  News coverage has appeared in the Ottawa Citizen, CBC’s All in a Day, and La Rotonde. In November, the Toronto Queer Film Fest (TQFF) and the concurrent Stonewall 50: The Future of Global Queer Liberation Art & Media symposium will be screening the video and hosting another panel with Andil Gosine, Tom Hooper, and Emma McKenna.

MAX Ottawa has also hired a new male sex worker outreach staff member based on the work plan recommendations I made late last spring. Between POWER and MAX things are getting organized in Ottawa-Gatineau!  POWER even had a contingent at Capital Pride in August where I gleefully shamed Liberals for doing nothing about Bill C-36 with a majority in Parliament after voting as a block against it while in opposition.

My Upping the Anti interview with Gary Kinsman (Against the Mythologies of the 1969 Criminal Code Reform: An Interview with Gary Kinsman) and my contribution to the QED forum on remembering Stonewall (I Still Hate New Year’s Day) should be live any day now.
