DESCRIPTION:

featuring a new film from Cuba:
Butterflies on the Scaffold (Mariposas en el Andamio) This is a must-see documentary about transgender performance in a Havana neighborhood known as the “cradle of cross-dressing in Cuba.”
and- a presentation by Bob McCubbin - long time anti-war/social justice activist whose pioneering book, The Roots of Lesbian and Gay Oppression, shows the source of bigotry towards LGBT people to be the tiny class of rich and powerful that also benefits from racism, sexism, and attacks on immigrants rights.
All proceeds from this forum and others being held throughout the country are being used to send youth on the 2007 trip to Cuba organized by the youth group FIST (Fight Imperialism Stand Together)
