"I'm looking forward to Women's Weekend because there's a great bunch of women coming who will enjoy each other's company, laughing and carrying on," says owner Jane Morrigan. "This year Im especially excited because of the musical entertainment that's lined up. Theresa Malenfant and Katey Day will be joining women around the campfire on Friday night and then they will treat everyone to a fabulous concert in the Gazebo on Saturday night."

EASY TO GET! EASY TO TEST! GET THE CURE!

OUTeast (June 22) 3 PM: LES INVISIBLES

Les Invisibles tells the stories of elderly women and men, pioneers in the gay and lesbian movement in France. Born in the years of peace following  World War One, all lived through the Second World War and the NAZI Occupation, the student riots of 1968, and all the long years when homosexuality was regarded as a mental illness ... Director Sebastien Lifshitz shows us who the real heroes are through beautiful and charming storytelling and some of the most loveable characters you will ever meet.

TODAY@OUTeast!! (June 21: 9 PM): INTERIOR. LEATHER BAR/w. JACKPOT

Honest to Goddess, could James Franco (Milk, Howl) get any gayer? Who cares, as long as this straight-identified actor/director keeps bringing his formidable intelligence, talent, and vey queer heart to projects like this. INTERIOR. LEATHER BAR tackles William Friedkin's enormously controversial 1980 film, Cruising.

TODAY@OUTeast! (June 21, 7PM): GOD LOVES UGANDA

OUTeast presents “The most terrifying film of the year!” That is how American queer activist, Joe Mirabella of Change.org, described God Loves Uganda, a shocking expose directed by Academy Award Winner Roger Ross Williams (Music by Prudence, Best Documentary Short 2010).

JUNE 20, 7:30 PM at OUTeast Film Fest "I AM DIVINE!"

"Divine is a poster child for misspent youth.”  [Fimmaker Jeffrey Schwarz] went on to tell the North Adams Transcript, “I feel like it's the right moment, it's in the national conversation. One of the reviews said it was sort of like an ‘It Gets Better' video on angel dust and I kind of agree with that, even though Divine wasn't really into angel dust.”

Wabanaki 2-Spirit Community Reclaims its Past

The Wabanaki 2-Spirt Alliance is a group of 2 Spirited people who live in what is known as Atlantic Canada. The first gathering of this group was held in Rexton New Brunswick in 1995 and it took 17 years to hold the second gathering. This gathering was held at a Spiritually significant Mi'kmaq place, Liscombe Lodge in Liscombe Mills NS. A smaller 2nd gathering was held in Dartmouth a year later.

UPDATED! June 20-29, MUST SEE! OUTeast & Khyber Arts Present: I have come to ask you to tell me everything you know about the night

"MUST SEES THIS WEEK: Montreal-born artist Benny Nemerofsky Ramsay debuts new works commissioned by Halifax’s OUTeast queer film festival June 20 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Khyber Centre for the Arts.
