Queer and Rebel Days in Halifax

Queer and Rebel Days occurred in Halifax from July 10th to July 16th, packing in over 16 activities including, a performance night, craft day, discussion groups, a costume bike ride, communal meals, film and water fight - all in six days. Held at the Roberts Street Social Centre (5684 Roberts Street) the week brought the LGBTQ community and their allies together in various ways.

“We hope that there are critical discussions, talking about issues and meeting other people who are interested in those issues,” said Jake Feldman, one of the organizers, before the week began. Feldman’s hopes were met with many discussions, including “Are you queer enough?” a conversation about peer-policing in the queer community and “How to be an ally” a discussion on principles and tactics of being a supportive ally.

Feldman also acknowledged the importance of simply having fun, as a way to bring people together and help folks feel comfortable. “Sometimes you talk about issues to people and they say, ‘Stop talking about them, I don’t care…I just want to have fun.’ And there’s a place for having fun like the costume water fight, which is not political at all.” said Feldman.
