About The Event


Join us on January 28 from 7–9pm for a powerful evening as we watch a prerecorded interview with Mary and come together for discussion afterward. Mary was an influential figure in the early days of the HALO Club, the first LGBTQ+ club in London in the late 1970s. She shares her journey of growing up without language for who she was, and the profound impact of finding community right here in London.

📍 Online (via Teams) or in-person at QXCC

QX Land Acknowledgement

QX is located on the traditional territories of the Chonnonton, Anishinaabek, Haudenosaunee, and Lenaape Nations, connected through the London and Sombra Township Treaties, and to the Dish with One Spoon Covenant Wampum. With this acknowledgement, QX recognizes these Indigenous communities as the original stewards of this land and honours the enduring strength of their cultures, languages, and knowledge systems, which continue to thrive today.

​

We also acknowledge that colonialization and the impacts of colonial violence are not just a piece of history, but also a current lived reality. The crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two Spirits Peoples and the Calls to Action in The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada tell us all that we can and must do better. Queer liberation does not exist in isolation, but rather in relationship with the very notion of Indigenous solidarity.

​

Furthermore, QX would like to acknowledge the deeply rooted history of Two Spirit peoples. Their stories, teachings, and knowledges have always existed, and we hope to continue learning from and with them.

​

QX invites our community to learn more about the Indigenous communities in this area. If you are looking for a place to start, the Indigenous Initiatives department through Western University has many publicly accessible videos, toolkits, and readings to support your learning.
