| 3. Divergence Movie Night presents "Politics of the Heart" - Tuesday, July 15th |
Based in Quebec, Politics of the Heart is a moving portrait of lesbian and gay families as well as a powerful story of how they organized out of conditions of violence and discrimination to win recognition of their relationships, families and parenting rights. As a result of their work the Quebec National Assembly voted unanimously to extend the same parenting rights to homoparental families as heterosexual parents in 2002. Woven into the story is also the landmark case in Quebec that broke the ban against same sex marriage, making Quebec the third province in Canada to recognize equal marriage. (68 min). Sponsored by LIX. Doors open at 7:00 pm; movie starts at 7:30. FREE admission; $5 suggested donation. Snacks for sale. Club SAW, 67 Nicholas Street.
