OUTlaws and Celluloid Closets in Halifax

Halifax’s Dalhousie University is home to OUTlaw, a group for LGBT students and faculty at the university’s law program.

This Thursday, they will play host to Kathryn Dumke, a transgender lawyer with a practice in rural Nova Scotia. Dumke plans on discussing both her personal experience as a transgender woman as well as the issues that transgender clients face in the legal world. The event takes place at the Weldon Law Building from noon until 1pm. The talk will last approximately 45 minutes, with a Q&A afterward. For more information, you can email OUTlaw at schulich.outlaw@gmail.com.

Also happening this Thursday in Halifax, SMU-Q, Saint Mary’s University’s queer group, will be showing The Celluloid Closet, the famed documentary about queer images in cinema. For more information, check out their Facebook page.
