Successful! Toronto Pflag Pride Family Event

On June 27th, 2021, we held our Pride Sunday: Morning Mingler.

This year's virtual event featured The ArQuives Queer Trivia program and a pre-recorded musical performance by Chris Tsujiuchi. We had roughly 40 attendees and thanks to the ArQuives trivia, we collectively learned:

  • For the 2020-21 season 360 regular and recurring LGBTQ2+ characters were on TV (Broadcast, Cable, and Streaming)

  • The P in legendary trans activist for LGBT rights Marsha P Johnson's name stands for 'Pay It No Mind', her mantra on gender

  • Items currently held in the ArQuives include Mark Tewksbury's Olympic torch, a 1911 handwritten journal of a gentleman’s homosexual exploits throughout southern Ontario, and the original 'We Demand' document

Big thanks to The ArQuives volunteer team for putting together such an amazing trivia program, to Chris Tsujiuchi for his breathtaking performance, and to Colin Mochrie, Debra McGrath and Mayor John Tory for showing up to support Toronto Pflag and make this Pride something special.

Thanks also to all who joined us! Hopefully next Pride we can meet in-person!
