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.

We plan to go down south and gather more U People Stories for the archive. Here’s the promo ad featuring poetry by Red Summer.
