Wilson Room

In September 2000, Toronto police raided the women and trans positive bathhouse, the Pussy Palace, and laid charges against two of the volunteers. The organizers fought back, won, and sparked a whole lot of controversy. 2008 marks the 10th anniversary of the Pussy Palace, an outlaw space for sex, queers, and a touch of education.

Pussy

Janet Rowe is the founder of the Pussy Palace, a long-time advocate and educator around women’s sexual health, and currently the Program Manager at the 519, Toronto’s queer community centre.

JP Hornick is one of the people charged in the Pussy Palace raid, a queer activist, writer and teacher.

QCRED Office, JDUC Room 343

QCRED and OPIRG team up over a delicious meal to talk about sexual and gender diversity in People of Colour and Aboriginal communities. This event will be facilitated by the wonderful Hagar Prah. Having spent the last 10 years + working in the Sexual Assault Centre Kingston as a counsellor, Hagar will initiate a conversation with us about the varied issues facing Queer, Trans, and two spirited People of Colour who experience multiple lived experiences and oppressions because of race/ethnicity, culture, religion, faith, age, ability, class, immigration status, HIV serostatus, etc. This event welcomes People of Colour and Aboriginal Peoples who are Queer and Trans Positive. Don’t feel shy, the conversation will be very informal but powerful non the less andddd there will be a FREE meal!

Accessible- take the elevator up to the 3rd floor and we are directly infront!
Who: Queer and Trans positive People of colour and Aboriginal People
