Gender JUST will be camping out at the Chicago Freedom School, 719 S. State St., and showing back-to-back screenings of masterpieces of radical queer cinema from directors Eric A. Stanley and Chris Vargas on Friday, June 23, 5:30-9 p.m.

The organization will be screening the anti-marriage extravaganza Homotopia ( 2007, 27 min. ) and its anti-prison sequel Criminal Queers ( 2013, 63 min. ). Dinner and introductions will be served from 5:30 p.m., and the screenings will begin promptly at 6 p.m., followed and broken up between films by spirited discussion. ( Basic food will be provided ( vegan pasta ), but due to limited funding, any contributions of food and/or drink will be greatly appreciated. )
