On PIE Day, let’s have some PIE and watch a movie!
Celebrate our Affirming church on Friday, March 14th at 700 pm.
PIE Day, also known as National Affirming Day, is a day to celebrate our status as an Affirming church!
“PIE” stands for Public, Intentional, Explicit Inclusion of 2SLGBTQIA+ People. Every year, we celebrate PIE Day on March 14th. (March 14 = 3.14 = π = pi = PIE, right?)
This year, we are going to celebrate PIE Day on Fri Mar 14th at 700 p.m. with lots of pie and a screening of the movie The Fruit Machine, Sarah Fodey’s powerful documentary about the homosexual witch-hunt of public servants, RCMP officers, and military personnel in Canada from the 1950s through the early 1990s. The movie explores the effects of this witch-hunt on the people whose lives and careers were disrupted or destroyed by it, and illustrates how a democratic state could legally wage a discriminatory campaign against its own citizens whose only crime was being (or suspected to be) “homosexual.” This film is a must see. Free tickets are available at eventbrite.ca. Come on PIE Day and get some.
