Qu(e)erying Religion Pub Night.

Non-alcoholic options available. Join students and staff of any religion or faith for informal conversation related to gender identities, sexual orientations, religion and faith.

Marching is way better than watching.

Join us on Rosedale Valley Rd. as we prepare ourselves to march in the Pride Parade.

Pride Toronto's theme this year is "Unified," so the UT Pride Committee has decided to follow that theme by dressing as a sports team, or a Homecoming King or Queen. Fuck with gender. Come adorned in your athletic best (a jersey will be provided) and march - not just for fun, but for change. Joining us again is Samba Elegua, a local ensemble that will surely get you in the mood to march.

*1:00pm SHARP! Access to Rosedale Valley Rd. will be restricted after 1:00pm. You cannot join the parade after it has started.

After success in winning the right to marriage where in the queer movement going next? issues of immigration and refugees, sex workers, trans gender, race, corporate influence in Pride, and homophobia in the academic environment will be discussed.

An open discussion on next steps and what actions we need to take in the future to ensure that the issues and concerns of our communities are still being addressed.

Come out with an open mind and be ready to combine efforts in our struggle.

Guess what’s new?? This year the University of Toronto will be having a team at the Pride and Remembrance Run (Saturday June 28th 10:00a.m.) as one of several events U of T is hosting in celebration of Pride Week 2008!

And we want you to join our team.

The Pride Run is one of the most enjoyable, fun, delectable events of the entire Pride weekend. You can walk, run, hop or wiggle the 3 or 5 km route. You don’t have to be a runner to participate!

The costumes are fabulous, the spirit is contagious and the Dufflets treats at the end are to die for. The U of T Pace Bunnies (our team name) urges you wait no LONGER and join us. The event always draws a fun crowd, and the participants raise oodles of money for community groups. Check out the website and register under U of T Pace Bunnies. We're planning to have our own U of T t-shirt, ears and bunny tails so you'll be sure to stand out in the crowd!

The U of T Pace Bunnies team captains are Sara-Marni Hubbard and Myra Lefkowitz – so if you have any questions contact them at sara.hubbard@gmail.com or myra.lefkowitz@utoronto.ca

We think you should rally your office colleagues, fellow students, your partner and friends, and register. LGBTQ students, staff, faculty, alumni and allies strongly encouraged to participate. UT Pace Bunnies need CHEER Bunnies...along the route. All WELCOME!

T-shirt pick-up will be at the Pride Pub at Hart House June 26th between 6-8 p.m.

We will be back in touch about a couple of team gatherings prior to Saturday June 28th

In the mean time hop on the registration site and look for our team the U of T PACE BUNNIES!!! www.priderun.org

medical practice. In the stark setting of rural
Georgia, Robert's story unfolds through interviews
with his friends, loved ones, and family.

our free alternative. If you went to Inside Out, come
