THE U PEOPLE VISIBLE VOICES TOUR – FALL 2009

In October 2009; in response to the current right to marriage movement; the creators of U People alongside a small team of performers and activists will embark on a month long tour of the southern states of America in celebration of National Coming Out Month. This pilgrimage will target a sampling of the larger unheard queer voice in this country in hopes to shine a light on the continuing struggle around a myriad of issues that challenge queer equality today. There will be a series of screenings and companion talk-back sessions associated with the film to take place in both public and private institutions in addition to a lecture series on multiple college campuses. More information can be found here.

COLLEGIATE VOICES SIMULCAST

We are organizing a panel of distinguished academic, political and religious pundits, including the U People directors to discuss the progression and further development of LGBT rights and understanding within the south.
