Homotopia in Houston, TX!

We are back from tour, thanks to everyone that organized events and came to screenings. We had much fun, ate some good cake, and conspired with some amazing folks! In horribly un-shocking news, have you seen what the TX House is up to now? They have just OKed a bill that will mandate schools that spend money of “LGBT education” to have equal funding available to “family and traditional values” education as if public education is not already “family and traditional values” education (AKA hetero-settler-colonial-realness) . In better news, the first ever Houston Anarchist Book Fair will be the weekend of April  23-24 and they will be screening Homotopia around 8pm on Saturday the 23, 2011 check it out if you are in TX.

On the road

We are out in the world showing Criminal Queers and Homotopia, meeting some nice people and eating some amazing cake ! Check out the update from Chris’ blog here. Tomorrow we are off to Queen’s University in Kingston, ON, then we end Monday night with our friends in Ottawa.
