Event Description
A Place Where I Belong
Amyn, Alison, Lyle, Noah, Peter, and Brian are each on unique journeys of love, acceptance, self-empowerment, and family but share a common experience as 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals with intellectual disabilities. They are also all a part of Connecting Queer Communities (CQC), a social group for 2SLGBTQIA+ people with intellectual disabilities to connect with each other and the broader queer community in the Lower Mainland. As each person finds safety and solidarity within CQC, they navigate a range of experiences from the joys of coming out to dealing with family rejection. With CQC’s future in peril due to funding challenges, A Place Where I Belong shines an urgent light on the unique challenges at the intersection of disability and 2SLGBTQIA+ justice and serves as a powerful reminder that everyone deserves to find a place where they belong.
Live Large No Shame
A young trans woman gets locked out of the apartment she's supposed to be watching and has no choice but to ask for help from the building's superintendent, a middle-aged man with Down syndrome who quickly wins her trust and affection. Live Large No Shame is a story about an unexpected encounter, a moment of urban poetry that captures the magic of diversity.
