SUMMARY:Queer Dance Party
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:A Queer's Guide to Spiritual Living
DESCRIPTION:Blending zine-inspired animation\, spoken word\, and poetry with insightful interview footage\, this lo-fi documentary collage follows four queer people from different religious backgrounds as they explore the intersections of faith and queerness. \n\n\n\nWe meet Summeiya\, the genderfluid founder of Queer Muslim Network Toronto; Juliana\, a bisexual teacher and former Baptist Christian; Vaibhav\, a gay Hindu dancer; and Ari\, a trans Christian Orthodox drag artist. Each person talks openly about their own spiritual journey\, and their testimonies collectively open up possibilities for faith and queerness to connect rather than exist in opposition. \n\n\n\nRecognizing the complexity of individual queer faith journeys\, directors A.C. Birch and Michal Heuston have crafted an intimate work that prioritizes beauty over conflict and demonstrates that the process of reconciliation does not have to be tackled alone.
