Pride vs Prejudice: Film Screening & Discussion presented by Edmonton Queer History Project

Join us for an inspiring afternoon at the Jasper Library & Cultural Centre as we present Pride vs Prejudice: The Delwin Vriend Story, a powerful documentary written and directed by Darrin Hagen. This film explores the landmark case of Delwin Vriend, who never set out to be a human rights activist but changed history when he challenged his wrongful dismissal for being gay—ultimately shaping 2SLGBTQ+ rights in Canada and beyond.

Following the screening, a discussion with Senator Dr. Kristopher Wells will delve into the lasting impact of this pivotal legal battle and its continued relevance in today’s fight for equality. Don’t miss this opportunity to reflect on the past, engage in meaningful conversation, and celebrate the progress of 2SLGBTQ+ rights.

All are welcome. Free to attend.

Thank you to the presenting partner, Edmonton Queer History Project.
