Trans March 2007

Friday June 22nd, the Friday before Pride
Dolores Park, Dolores and 19th Street

*3pm Stage*  7pm March

The Trans March is a grassroots, social change event organized entirely by community volunteers. You are welcome to get involved to make this year's event even better!

San Francisco's first, historic Trans March in 2004 attracted a crowd estimated at 2,000. Last year's Trans March brought together 5,000-6,000 people for an amazing community-driven grassroots demonstration on the weekend of LGBT Pride. This year, we expect over 10,000 transgender people and allies, making it the largest transgender event in history!

The Trans March is intended to:

• Demonstrate that the violence and discrimination directed against the transgender community will not be tolerated.
• Celebrate the struggles of the trans community for respect, acceptance, and civil rights.
• Build a supportive, unified trans community bringing together diverse genders, ages, and ethnic backgrounds along with our allies.

The entire event will be sign-language interpreted! Please enhance, translate and pass this on to any groups, lists, or individuals who might be interested.

The Trans March is produced by over 50 grassroots community volunteers, with primary sponsorship from: Good Vibrations, National Center for Lesbian Rights, United Genders of the Universe! Horizons Foundation, San Francisco Arts Commission Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, and co-sponsorship by: Walden House, FTM International, SEIU Local 790, Fresh Meat Productions, Eros, Femina Potens, Queer Cultural Center, San Francisco LGBT Community Center, SF LGBT Pride Committee, and the Dyke March!

BI REQUEST

I want a date for this event...any takers?

Frameline31
San Francisco International LGBT Film Festival
June 14-24, 2007
www.frameline.org

Bi Request
Saturday June 16 | 6:00 pm | Roxie
$9 members | $10 general | BIRE16R

For our first ever Bi Request shorts program, volunteer guest curator Amy André selected films made by bisexual directors and/or about bisexual subjects. Bi Request was inspired by Frameline’s ongoing commitment to promote bisexual visibility and display bi images in film.

From Jan Krüger, the director of Unterwegs and The Whiz Kids, comes Hotel Paradijs, a film about the magic and darkness of desire. Though happy with his boyfriend Christian, Paul finds himself seduced by Claire. But is it really Claire, or just the idea of falling in love with a woman, that makes Paul turn away from his lover? Less concerned with the external forces that attract, Krüger instead focuses his lens on the unpredictable desires within that can tear a loving couple apart.

In a spoof of the 1950s educational film style, Shady Bi warns of the “dangers” of bisexual women. A bisexual transwoman documents her transition in Whatever Suits You. Single Sexy Bilingual is a short, black comedy about being bilingual, bisexual and bipolar. In Checkout, friends (and ex-lovers) Corey and Max compete for the same woman at the grocery store. In Lauren’s Call, a Cuban immigrant couple fights to make their relationship work in the midst of a sexual identity crisis. A scorned bisexual goes postal in One Useless Prick, and nature-loving bisexuals go camping in Bi Camp.
