A feature-length documentary film-in-progress chronicling the birth and development of LGBTQ comics through the eyes of several of its pioneers. The film was inspired by the Lambda award-winning book of the same name, and dives deeper into the personal stories at the heart of this unique underground artistic scene. Featuring Alison Bechdel (Fun Home), the recently departed Howard Cruse (Stuck Rubber Baby, Gay Comix), and others, this film aims to show how DIY queer cartoonists have represented, poked fun at, and celebrated LGBTQ lives and experiences in challenging, humorous, and profound ways.

“Peterborough Pride” exists to support & celebrate people of all sexual orientations and gender identities; honour and give thanks to those who have come before us and contribute to the resilient spirit and courage of the present struggle for our human rights. Peterborough/Nogojiwanong Pride Week has been celebrated since 2003 and has grown into a week of over 30 events events in mid-September each year. The 2SLGBTQA+ community is diverse and spans and intersects the full spectrum of race, age, ability, and economic status. Ultimately, Pride events are intended to provide a space for participants to gather, share ideas, speak their minds, support each other, and have fun in a safe and accepting environment.
