Plus, a queer film retrospective at the Coolidge Corner Theatre and LGBTQ+ historical walking tours of Boston.
June is Pride month, a time for the LGBTQ+ community to be loud, proud and a little bit sloppy. It’s also a time to celebrate the strides made since the advent of the gay rights movement, and to advocate for change today. In honor of that legacy, we’re bringing you five Pride-related events to jumpstart your June. Happy Pride to one and all!
The Coolidge Corner Theater celebrates Pride with a series of films from the “new queer cinema” of the 1990s. This cinematic movement introduced more daring, grittier depictions of LGBTQ life into the independent film scene, and pushed the envelope aesthetically. The Coolidge is showing six pictures from the genre throughout the month. This Sunday, it presents Gus Van Sant's"My Own Private Idaho," which happens to have been a life-changing title for WBUR film critic Sean Burns.
