Cradled in the protective arms of Canada’s landmark Charter of Rights, Canadians have long grown accustomed to Queer culture, community and humanity as a growing part of our mosaic. In 76 countries, however, its a crime to be gay. In 10, it can cost you your life. The privileges and freedoms enjoyed by every Canadian exist in sharp contrast to the world outside of our borders, and sometimes only a short drive from our metropolis. With this in mind, the team at Queer Ideas challenged everyone with an original story chronicling the LGBT experience to submit their unique voice for inclusion, development and live reading, of new original stories furthering the culture of us all through the eyes of those interacting with the LGBT community. From the incredible and diverse submissions we received... Queer Ideas selected 8 exceptional LGBT-focused films, which received screenplay development from some of the top screenwriters, producers, showrunners and storytellers in the business… Including: Kevin Krikst (Rhombus Media), Robert Vaughn (Chesler Perllmutter Productions), Ryan Bruce Levey (The Closest Thing To Heaven), Suzanne Depoe (Westwood Creative Artists), Patricia Chica (Day Before Yesterday), Byron A. Martin (X-MEN), Salvatore Antonio (In Gabriels Kitchen), Robert De Lint (Verite Films). Now’s your chance… to come get a glimpse of all of this important work and celebrate with us, at the inaugural: …Queer Ideas Salon… January 29th @ The Gladstone Hotel, Doors at 6:30pm and Revelry all night. “As a beacon of inclusion and fairness, Canada can and should be challenging, informing and entertaining the globe about the progress we share; the challenges we see; and the future we imagine that all should enjoy.” From Executive Producers Evert Houston & Ron Leach.
