Worth taking a look at...

http://www.amnestyusa.org/lgbt-human-rights/country-information/page.do?id=1106576

This is an interactive map of the legal status of queer individuals all over the world. It's pretty sad actually. Enjoy your rights where you have them, we're damn lucky to exist in a country where we will not be imprisoned or executed, but that doesn't mean the struggle is over.

Queer-aoke?

On Friday March 6th starting at 10 PM at the Mix we are setting up karaoke! We hope to make this last all night until 2 AM. We're getting very excited to finally be able to show off our mad skills without singing into a Rock Band microphone. There's no need for your band to save you should things go horribly wrong. This is karaoke, the real thing!

Invite all your friends and family. The more people who come the better. If you already RSVPd on the Facebook group and said MAYBE please change that to ATTENDING because if people see that you are actually coming then perhaps more people will come and we'll rock the Mix right off its foundation. Even if you don't plan to sing, it will still be a mad night of entertainment.

Here's the link to the Facebook event:

And of course the link to our Facebook group:

See you all there!

Oh and is anyone getting sick of the posts about Rhino in the Room? well, I guess you can just read the previous posts rather than me posting again and again, over and over about the film festival... which is incredibly important...which you should get involved with or make a film for... and is basically the only event of this kind in southern alberta... just sayin! Don't miss out! XD
