COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT:  Call Me Kuchu - Nov. 11     
 

Call me KUCHU LGBT  

On Sunday, November 11 at 7:30 pm, Out Boulder is participating with the Starz Film Festival for a screening of the film Call Me Kuchu. This film is about the life of David Kato, Uganda's first openly gay man. He was one of the few who dared to publicly protest state-sanctioned homophobia. Commit now to going, there are a limited number of tickets and this film looks very powerful. We will have 25 tickets for sale at $16 each, available only online HERE!

 

We chose this film as our viewing choice as we just held an amazing book drive for Sexual Minorities in Uganda. We are also in great support of the incredible people of Uganda who were proud and brave enough to have their first Pride parade this year. More info
