CANCELLED! Pussies Bite Back: Making and Keeping Queer Space, Fri Mar 7th

Due to the weather forecast, this talk is cancelled and will be rescheduled soon. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Friday March 7th, 6-8pm, Watson Hall Room 217

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.

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 two people charged in the Pussy Palace raid, a queer activist, writer and teacher.

This talk is co-sponsored by the Positive Space Program and the Queen’s Department of Women’s Studies. This is part of a Positive Space Speaker Series which was made possible by the Queen’s University Cold Beverage Exclusivity Fund.
