Fernie, Lynne (b. 1946) An animation still from Lynne Fernie's Apples by Linda Rapp and Oranges (2003), a film for children. Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Courtesy Lynne Fernie. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Filmmaker, lyricist, and editor Lynne Fernie, a native of British Columbia, has had a varied career in the arts. Her principal work is the award-winning documentary Forbidden Love: The Unashamed Stories of Lesbian Lives (1992), which she co-directed with Aerlyn Weissman. As a young woman Fernie moved to Toronto, where she became a member of LOOT (Lesbian Organization of Toronto), a lesbian-feminist group in existence from 1976 to 1980. In 1978 Fernie, along with other members of the Women's Writing Collective in Toronto, founded Fireweed: A Feminist Quarterly of Writing, Politics, Art & Culture. She co-edited that journal's first lesbian issue (Issue 13) in 1983. Later she worked as co-editor and then editor of Parallelogramme, a magazine of Canadian contemporary arts. Fernie has been the lyricist for various Canadian recording artists, most notably the group The Parachute Club. She won gold records for her work on two of the group's albums and received a Juno award--the Canadian equivalent of a Grammy--for their single "Rise Up" (1983), which became an anthem of the Toronto gay community. In 1989 Fernie was among a group of Canadian artists who founded the Inside Out Lesbian and Gay Film and Video Festival, which is held annually in Toronto. Fernie directed a documentary, Fiction and Other Truths: A Film about Jane Rule, for which she won the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television's Genie Award for short documentary in 1995.
