Sept 1, 6 pm: Summer Reflections & Mad Libs . After sharing our thoughts regarding the Summer, we will be playing the pride version of Adult Mad Libs. For those unfamiliar with this game, a “reader” asks everyone else (the “writers”) to supply words to fill in blanks in a document (known to the reader but not the writers). The results can be hilarious.
Sept 8, 6 pm:” Wild Reeds”—Movie & Discussion. Given September is Back-to-School Month, it’s the perfect time to show “Wild Reeds,” gay filmmaker André Téchiné’s semi-autobiographical coming-of-age movie about a group of teenage students. Set in southwest France in 1962, this poignant movie (presented with English subtitles) deals with the issues of class, political & sexual awakening, and the uneasy passage into adulthood.
Sept 15, 6 pm: The Joys of September. Come join us as we learn and talk about the month of September– the end of summer and the beginning of fall, National Grandparents Day, Patriot’s Day, Banned Books Week, the birthdays of Bruce Springsteen, Queen Elizabeth I, and Stephen King, and much, much more.
