Queer Cafe & Film Screening
Thurs 11th, 7pm onwards

Last week saw the successful launch of our first Queer Cafe.
If you liked the cake, if you met interesting people and want to continue those chats, or if you missed it last time and want to know what it's all about, come along to our next Queer Cafe.
We will show the film Kinsey (see below) starting at 8pm, and there will be an alternative cafe space for those who would rather hang out.

8pm Film Screening: Kinsey (2004)
“Let's talk about sex”
Liam Neeson stars as Alfred Kinsey, who in 1948 irrevocably changed American culture with his book "Sexual Behavior in the Human Male". Interviewing thousands of people about the most intimate aspects of their lives, Kinsey lifted the weight of secrecy and shame from a society in which sexual practices were mostly hidden. His work sparked one of the most intense cultural debates of the past century – a debate that rages on today.

Discussion: Creating queer spaces in Bristol

At our first queer cafe we had a short chat on what people want from Do-It-Yourself alternative queer spaces in Bristol. A range of interests were covered, from film, performance, child-friendly queer spaces, to gigs, art spaces and sex toy workshops.
We want to take this discussion further and plan for future queer spaces, both at Kebele and in different venues, so we have set aside the evening for discussion.
Come along, bring your ideas, skills, enthusiasm and help make it happen!


Background:
We are a small group of queers in Bristol and we are creating DIY alternatives to Bristol's mainstream gay scene. We feel that Bristol is drastically lacking in explicitly queer spaces.

We want spaces that don't repress and constrain our sexualities, where we can hang out, create, organise, skillshare, flirt, watch films or perform without someone making a profit...
We'd like a space where we can actually communicate with each other, a space away from the Bristol gay meat market.

Queer doesn't necessarily mean gay, or bi. “Queer” has different meanings to different people. To some people “queer” means an identity that cannot be contained in existing labels of “homo”, “bi”, “trans”, “lesbian”. To other people it means making gender and sexuality definitions void. To some people it says something about who they are, to others it says something about who they fuck or how they fuck. It is inclusive of, but not limited to trans, bi, lesbian, BDSM, gay, asexual, genderqueers, drag kings, mtf, femmes, queerbois, dykes, ftm, drag queens, butches...

Kebele is a radical social centre in Easton which aims to be inclusive of everyone regardless of age, race, gender, class, sexuality and dis/ability.
