Wicked Queer in Stuff

We spent much of our free time this last week at the LGBTQ Film Festival. Somebody in my family and/or Megan was probably at just about every film. I lost count but I know I went to at least five films, and I think the kids, Olsen in particular, saw many more than that. She was volunteering for the festival, which of course had her present for a lot of films she might not have otherwise attended.

We’ve always been a family that enjoys watching movies, and this festival seems more interesting to us these days than the other film festivals in the city.

I want to say some of the trans films (which is mostly what I watched) helped me with a little perspective with everything going on with Mercer. I watched one films with Harrison that was about the whole idea of restrooms for “all genders” and when we walked out she said to me, “That film was exactly why I don’t like to use non-inclusive restrooms.”

When she first started being vigilant about that subject, I kind of laughed it off, but now I see it from a different perspective and understand it better. I might think more about which restroom I’m using in the future.
