My People: A Film Series in Color
Connecting LGBTQ communities and broader Pittsburgh

Topic – The Glamorous Life
Join us as we explore the roots of vogueing and how it has influenced popular culture today.
We discover how balls, drag contests, and other LGBTQ originated activities have shaped LGBTQ culture and what roles they’ve played in supporting communities dealing with AIDs, socioeconomic instability, and other challenges.

Paris is Burning
Becoming a Legend takes more than fame. A cult-classic film that follows houses of NYC as they walk
categories like “realness” and survive the harsh judgments of mainstream culture.

Performance by The Iconic Legendary House of Infiniti
Sponsored by PERSAD, New Voices Pittsburgh, The Delta Foundation, Steel-City Stonewall
Democrats

Admission: $5
