Pride week has started in Toronto and amid the crazy street parties and the always awesome Dyke March (Saturday, June 24), there are some pretty great youth events, including the rocking Fruit Loopz stage and the Pride Prom, where Prom Ace, King and Queen will be crowned!
On Wednesday (June 21), Debra Anderson, author of Code White (McGilligan Books) has organized Get Your Lit Out!, a night of readings featuring some our favourite local lit stars: Mariko Tamaki, Zoe Whittall, Debra Anderson, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, Kristyn Dunnion (a.k.a Miss Kitty Galore) and Sandra Alland.
The event is free, all-ages and will have refreshments. Art Metropole (788 King St. W.), 7-10 p.m. Looks like it’s going to be a busy week.

(We get to decide what's discriminatory, hateful, attacking, or inflammatory).
In some cases, we will cap off comments on a discussion when we feel they are spiralling out of control and fostering an unwelcoming space for bloggers and readers. Comments will be closed by the Web Editor, unless the post is by the Web Editor, in which case the Editor in Chief will close them.
If your comments repeatedly make the same point, they may be deleted. This also applies to comments made by multiple members of the same organization.
Your comments should be about the topic of the post, not its writer—although we certainly encourage praise for our writers, if you want to say something nice.
