We are pleased to be taking part in the “Coming Out Monologues” this week at the University of Calgary.

The Coming Out Monologues are three celebratory evenings of the LGBTQA (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans-gendered, transsexual, queer, ally) community. The three performances will be at the UofC in Craigie Hall on March 13, 14 and 15, with each night being a different performance. We’ll be there with a booth each night – so drop by to say hello!

 
Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at www.ucalgary.ca/tickets , with 50% of proceeds go towards the Calgary Sexual Health Centre. We are thrilled to be supported by this event!

We are also pleased to be taking part in the educational panel discussion that is taking place on March 16th.

 

Following the momentum of the Coming Out Monologues performances, the panel discussion event will change focus to discussion and creating allies in the community. The event will include a short performance, panel discussion, resources and activites focused on increasing knowledge around theory, language, discrimination, and experiences. Light refreshments will be provided.
