Pride and Solidarity is a jam-packed evening that will trace the histories and current of queer political movements in Canada and the United States,
and the engagement of workers, artists and unions fighting for social justice.
Opening the evening, Hannah in Bedlam, a monologue written and performed by acclaimed Toronto artist christina starr.
Two documentary films by award-winning filmmaker Nancy Nicol will be screened, which capture the victories and struggles for same-sex relationship recognition and marriage in Canada and the United States.
Politics of the Heart (68min, 2005) is a moving portrait of lesbian and gay families who profoundly re-shaped the cultural, political and legal landscape of Quebec and Canada by fighting for recognition of their relationships and their families.

A question and answer period will close the program, including Nancy Nicol and Fred Hahn. Fred was elected Secretary Treasurer of CUPE Ontario in 2006, making him the first openly gay man to be elected to a full-time officer position in CUPE Ontario.

 Music - Janet Panic
Canadian singer/songwriter of Métis heritage, Janet Panic is a veteran of the Vancouver music scene. A co-founder of 10 Ft Henry, her music has really developed since she struck out on her own. Her earlier CD "The Girl Who Passed For Normal" will be followed by the release of "You Look Good Naked" to be released before the summer.
Her lyrics can be biting and satirical or warm and tender reflecting the diversity in her musical influences that she lists as Lou Reed to Johnny Cash and Wilco to Dolly Parton. This also reflects the range in her sound from pop to country. Whatever genre she chooses her incredible vocals and her original musical stylings shine through.
Last month she performed in Winnipeg at the National Aboriginal Achievement Awards before a huge crowd. We are honoured to have her participate in Night at the Indies.
