Beyond Gay - On Sale Now

Award Winning Documentary   Beyond Gay: The Politics of Pride

Beyond Gay: Politics of Pride
You may know the organizers of WinterPRIDE do work year round to make a difference in the LGBTTQ movement, but now you can see them in action.  Beyond Gay follows Ken Coolen and Dean Nelson as they travel to places where Pride is still steeped in protest to personally experience the rampant homophobia that still exists. They also travel to Sao Paulo Brazil for the world's largest gay parade and New York City, the birthplace of the modern gay liberation movement.  Increasingly the Pride movement is globalizing and many Pride organizers in North America and Europe, where celebration has overtaken political action, strive to remind their communities that Pride is at its heart a global fight for human rights.
