  • Gay Zombies Want You to Practice Safe Sex!
    Gay Zombies want you to practice safe sex! (Anal warts, picture left) Studies in San Francisco and Vancouver have found nearly 100% of HIV+ homosexuals and 67% of HIV- homosexuals are infected with HPV of the rectum This virus leads to anal warts and anal cancer. In addition to HPV of the rectum, homosexuals are at high risk of acquiring: Anal Cancer, Chlamydia, Cryptosporidium, Giardia lamblia, Herpes, Cystoisospora belli, Microsporidia, Gonorrhea, Hepatitis A, B & C, and Syphilis. Some of these diseases are almost exclusively homosexual in nature, others such as Gonorrhea and Syphilis were traditionally heterosexual but are rapidly becoming epidemic in the homosexual subculture. (AIDS fatality, picture left) Many homosexuals falsely believe that sodomy is safe and with the advancement of new anti-retroviral therapy medications that there is no need to worry about AIDS anymore. While anti-AIDS medications are prolonging life dramatically, the truth is an average of 15,000 people still succumb to AIDS annually in North America, and the anti-retroviral regimen in and of its self is a source of suffering that can shorten lives of HIV + people. Common side effects of anti-AIDS medications are: Nausea, vomiting, rashes, heart disease, liver problems, lipodystrophy, diabetes. (Walt Heyer, picture left) Walt thought he was a woman and had a so called sex change operation. Walt damaged his body with unnatural female hormones and had his genitals removed. After 8 years of living a lie and trying to be a female Walt repented of his sin, turned to Jesus Christ and embraced his manhood once again.

  • Affective Economies of Queer & Feminist Film
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by YorkSpace NETWORKS OF FEELING: AFFECTIVE ECONOMIES OF QUEER & FEMINIST FILM FESTIVALS ON THE CANADIAN PRAIRIES JONATHAN PETRYCHYN A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN COMMUNICATION & CULTURE YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO August 2019 Ó Jonathan Petrychyn, 2019 ii ABSTRACT Film festivaLs are fulL of feeLing. As complex institutions, affective labour underpins the work of prograMMers and festivaL staff. As public events, fiLMs screened at festivaLs can be weLL- received pictures, poorly-reviewed flops, or events met with protest, controversy, and outbursts of public eMotion. The reLationship between these different types of eMotion, affect, and feeLing is a complex yet an often-overlooked aspect of fiLM festivaLs. This dissertation deveLops a theory of affect through the history of the queer and feMinist fiLM festivaLs on the Canadian Prairies from 1985 to 2005. Drawing on the vast colLection of public and private archives avaiLable on these festivaLs, as weLL as interviews and ethnography, I attend to the ways the region’s network of fiLM festivaLs have produced and have been produced by affect and how affects of dis/interest, disgust, shaMe, and happiness circulate within fiLM festivaL networks. The circulation and production of different affects at various points in these festivaL histories have had profound effects on how these festivaLs organize—from how organizers reLate to each other and to their publics, to the kinds of funding they accept and the politics of their prograMMing.

  • COMMUNIQUÉ Volume 25, Issue 34 August 21, 2018 Canada and the Saudis: Lashings and Tongue-Lashings
    COMMUNIQUÉ Volume 25, Issue 34 August 21, 2018 Canada and the Saudis: Lashings and Tongue-lashings Rod Taylor Leader, CHP Canada Nobody likes to have their faults exposed, much less to have a demand made of them that they change their behaviour “immediately.” Some countries are more sensitive than others and react more strongly when annoyed. Last week a tweet from Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland ignited a firestorm of hostile communications between Canada and Saudi Arabia.1 In her tweet, she called on Saudi Arabia to release Raif Badawi along with his sister Samar Badawi and other political prisoners. Raif Badawi is a blogger imprisoned and flogged in the Saudi kingdom for his tweets, which were considered anti-Islamic. He’s been sentenced to 10 years in prison and 1,000 lashes. Some accuse him of apostasy; in Saudi Arabia, conviction of apostasy is a death sentence. Of course, Chrystia Freeland and Justin Trudeau are correct in identifying the treatment of Raif Badawi as a human rights violation of the most egregious kind. To deny freedom of speech and freedom of religion to any human being is a violation of their person and of the rights and freedoms we take for granted in our Western democracies. To condemn any person to prison, flogging or death merely for criticizing the state religion—practices common in countries operating under Sharia law—is to deny conscience, dignity, and personal responsibility. Several questions, however, arise in the wake of this sudden break in relations between Canada and the Saudis: 1. If the Government of Canada’s real concern is human rights, why pick only on Saudi Arabia? Plenty of other countries are also violating the principles of free speech.
