Oh Canada!

So my fellow Canadians...what are your thoughts about the recent election. Do you think a majority government is a good thing? What do you think about the worlds reaction to Justin's comment about his cabinet?

I think this government has alot to live up to...he has so far done what he said he was going to do but it is still early. If he does only a little for our country that his father did, we will be a very lucky country. I for one am looking forward to the future, and can already feel the paradigm shift that this election has done in regards to how other countries feel about my beloved Canada.

London Lesbian Film Festival
North America's Only Lesbian Film Festival

The films look really interesting this year but this one looks especially intriguing.

Gender Troubles: The Butches
USA, 2016, 54 Min
Butches are not trying to be feminine and failing. They are not going through a rebellious stage or imitating men. Rather they are lesbians who, while being true to their authentic selves, challenge society’s assumptions about what it means to be female.

There are other events too (a dance and brunch w/comedian). Should be a great weekend and passing it along in case anyone is in the area and would like to meet up!

I know it is most likely true but it was a bit of a surprised that this is the only Lesbian Film Festival in North America; that is sad.

It's not true. Unless they are talking about "at this very second".

I have been to more than one lesbian film festival here in the U.S.

And of course, there are annual queer film festivals all over the U.S. Two of them near me.

Maybe they just did a "quick and dirty" google search?

I'll have you know, Dapper, the investigation is underway--getting to the bottom of this festival's annual claim has become a top priority!

P.S. I'm pretty sure they don't mean "at this very second."

Dapper,

I forgot to get back to you on this, and I'm sure many others have also been waiting with bated breath to hear the results of my investigation after your disputing this event's yearly claim of it being 'North America's Only Lesbian Film Festival.'

I did write the organizers to ask them for verification of the claim, but, unfortunately, I haven't received a response back. I do plan on asking about this yearly claim to an organizer when I attend the event next weekend.

However, after an EXTENSIVE online search (and I do admit the fallibilities of Google), I did not find ONE solely LESBIAN film festival. There were LGBTQ (or some variation of) and Queer and even ones identified as Women's film festivals; however, this is the only one I can find that is solely identified as a LESBIAN FILM FESTIVAL in North America.

Dapper, what were the names of the SOLELY lesbian film festivals you attended? Maybe that will help. As you know, LGBT or QUEER or Women's film festivals will not be allowed as contradicting the London's festival's claim. It must be designated as a soley LESBIAN FILM FESTIVAL in order for your opposition to their claim to be warranted.

P.S. Tickets are still on sale!
