DESCRIPTION:Pride was a Protest. \n\n\n\nWe’re angry. We’re frustrated. Pride left us drained\, outraged\, and alone. We need a space to let it out. \n\n\n\nCome dance your heart out with a room full of queers who get it.  \n\n\n\nShake off the anger. Scream\, sweat\, sing\, hug\, and reclaim some joy in a world that tries to keep us small.  \n\n\n\nThis is a night to release\, to connect\, and to be held by our chosen family. \n\n\n\n✨ What to expect \n\n\n\n• A soundtrack built for catharsis: 90s + 2000s pop\, R&B\, Hip-Hop\, Reggae\, Dancehall—songs that make your body move and heal your inner gay kid \n\n\n\n• A sweaty\, chaotic queer dance floor where you can throw everything you’re holding into movement \n\n\n\n• Karaoke\, late-night shenanigans\, and communal chaos because we are weird like that \n\n\n\n• Hugs\, dance moves\, solidarity\, and the kind of queer joy that is\, in itself\, resistance. This is political\, radical\, and necessary \n\n\n\nThis isn’t a party. It’s a survival ritual. It’s how we keep it together\, how we process our personal and collective trauma and how we move through it as a community. We party. We turn rage into rhythm\, frustration into movement\, and isolation into community. \n\n\n\nWe are dropping the ticket prices to $10 in advance and $15 at the door.  \n\n\n\nTickets are limited. Grab yours. Bring your rage. Dance it out. \n\n\n\nFriday\, Sept 6 · The British Hotel · Aylmer \n\n\n\nBe queer. Be loud. Be sweaty. Be there. \n\n\n\n✨ Queering Aylmer’s Usual Vibe? \n\n\n\n\nA high-energy queer dance floor\n\n\n\nDrinks\, food\, bilingual service with a smile\n\n\n\nDrag\, music and deliciously bad decisions \n\n\n\nHugs\, glitter\, and sweaty camp vibes\n\n\n\nUnapologetically loud joy in the heart of Aylmer\n\n\n\nInclusive\, safe space for all genders\, identities\, sexualities and good humans\n\n\n\n\nThe Talent \n\n\n\nDrag DJ Adrianna Exposé is coming in hot with an epic mix of throwbacks and bangers. Expect a high-energy blend of 90s and 2000s pop\, Hip-Hop\, R&B\, Reggae\, and Dancehall—curated for maximum ass-shaking and singalong potential.  \n\n\n\nQueering Aylmer is more than a party—it’s a celebration of queer existence\, resistance\, and community. Part dance party\, part love letter to ourselves\, and part small-town queer magic. \n\n\n\nDate: Saturday\, September 6th \n\n\n\nTime: 6pm to midnight  \n\n\n\nLocation: The British Hotel\, Aylmer | Gatineau \n\n\n\nTickets: $10 online | $15 at the door

SUMMARY:"All-of-the-Gay" Soirée IV: Under the Stars
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our fourth annual Kind Space Soirée\, as we host a social and dress up night full of mocktails\, socializing\, and even karaoke. “All-of-the-Gay” Soirée is a social event for all those over 18+ in our 2SLGBTQIA+ community. We were so thrilled with the turnout the last three years\, and the amount of donated affirming and accessible formal and business wear! So we have made this an annual event\, and have moved it back to Pride Week in Ottawa!  We will be serving mocktails\, so no alcohol will be served by Kind Space at this event. \n\n\n\nThis event has a broad dress code including our theme of Galaxy or Stars\, or semi-formal; cocktail attire; business casual clothing. The Dress Code is not manditory\, and we want you to wear whatever makes YOU feel comfortable\, elevated or fancy. But you deserve an excuse to dress\, impress\, and enjoy a nice evening without needing to spend money.  \n\n\n\nWe also recognize that not all 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals have access to affordable gender affirming formal or semi-formal clothing\, but may have a desire to wear or own such clothing. This is why every year Kind Space seeks donations for business and formal attire for our “Out of the Closet” clothing space to provide a selection of these affirming garments to be accessible to those who need it. So either it be a nice outfit for a job interview\, a dear friends wedding\, or any occasion that requires pazzaz\, we will still take it. You can donate anytime during our Drop-In operational hours of 12PM-6PM Wednesday to Friday. You can also drop these donations off anytime before\, or during the event. Thank you! \n\n\n\nQuestions can be sent to programming@kindspace.ca
