EGADS, perverts

MY BAD! I’ve been moving houses so i got caught up in that. Plus also summer and cottage country living it up vacay style. Point is, I neglected to talk about Pervers/Cité!

In its fourth year, anti-capitalism community gay festival Pervers/Cité
is setting itself up to bookend the other two queer fests in the
city. From Sunday, Aug. 1 to Sunday, Aug. 15, the queer underground
party scene gets politicized in a radical way as Pervers/Cité gets its
wig workshops, queer ballet, political walking tours, tea parties and
potlucks underway. Read more about it here.
