Queer and Rebel Days - Halifax

Those of you in Halifax are are in the middle of Queer and Rebel Days and I'd love to hear about them.

From the web site:

Queer and Rebel Days 2009 is a week of performances, discussions, food, and workshops in Halifax, NS, running from July 10 - 16, 2009. All events are free, trans and queer positive, and childcare is available upon request. Most events are based at the Roberts St. Social Centre, 5684 Roberts St., Halifax; see the Event Details page for more info. 

Our goals are:

• Learn from each other
• Break down borders that stop us from working together
• Have fun!
• Create space for talk and action that might not happen otherwise

Here are some of the ideas we hope will spark conversation:

• Consumerism and assimilation
• The labels we use (queer, bi, lesbian, trans, etc... who uses which ones, and what do they mean to us?
• Queers as agents of gentrification
• History and future of activism in our communities
• Oppression and alliance: how can we support each other?
• Your topic here!

What an exciting event!

Anybody up for a concurrent online celebration of rebels? Want to share a story about an important rebel in your life? Have you been at Queer and Rebel Days in Halifax and want to tell us about it? I'd love to hear some stories!
