Team Shameless will be selling mags and buttons this Saturday at Pride Toronto. Look for us beside Buddies In Bad Times Theatre, 12 Alexander St., near Church, from about 12:30 to 6 p.m.

And while you’re there, please support the Dyke March at 2 p.m. and the youth stage from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Here’s some info about the youth stage, courtesy of Supporting Our Youth:

The Fruit Loopz Pride Youth Stage-Wild Fruit: Join us on Saturday, June 26th at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre, 12 Alexander Street from 3-10pm. There will be two stages: Talluah’s Cabaret Indoor Stage from 3-6pm and Alexander Parkette Outdoor Stage from 5-10pm. Both stages are FREE!!! Fruit Loopz is a festival for youth by youth at Pride - and sometimes at other places too! A carnival of Arts, Words and Ideas created and energized by the wild spirit of Toronto’s LGBTTQ youth. SOY (Supporting Our Youth) proudly presents and celebrates the performance and art of some of Toronto’s most talented young musicians, comics, filmmakers, dancers, DJ’s, singers and spoken word artists, all under 25 years of age.

A few months ago, our friend Andrew asked what our dream was for the Shameless launch party. He was going to help plan it, so he wanted to know what our ideal party would include, in terms of entertainment, decorations, atmosphere, etc. I thought about it for a second and then said, “Y’know, I just want to see a ton of teenage girls sitting on the floor of The 360 reading the magazine. That’s what would make it perfect.” Nicole agreed.

On Saturday night, the venue was packed by 9 p.m. and the floor was covered with girls sitting around reading the magazine (as well as tearing up the dance floor, cheering in front of the venue and performing on stage). Nicole and I both almost cried, it was so amazing. You girls made all the work we’ve been doing worthwhile. We can’t wait to hear from you — about the party, the magazine, and whatever else you want to tell us!

Thank you to all the parents, grandparents, siblings, partners, friends and strangers who came out to support Shameless. The party really was “all ages” and totally diverse.

And thanks, of course, to the radical cheerleaders for their pom-pom-politicking, our comics Mae and Sabrina for hosting, and the DJs for rocking the house. You were all just amazing.
