I will live in a world where the healthcare system offers gender responsive healthcare, and be appointed to or declined for an employment opportunity based on my competence, and not my gender identity".

Boombox's Benefit 'Pride' Screening for NSRAP Tonight!

UPDATE: TONIGHT'S SCREENING SOLD OUT! "From the old pros like Bill Nigh (a master class in eyebrow acting!) and the always exceptional Imelda Staunton and Paddy Considine, to the fine work from the younger cast, including Ben Schnetzer and Andrew Sullivan (Moriarty on Sherlock); from Stephen Beresford’s tender but snappy script to a fab queer 80s soundtrack and some diva disco moves from Dominic West, Pride is pure cinematic delight."
