Scuse Moi? But what is this Faggity Ass Fridays you speak of?
FAF: is an awesome faggitylicious dance party that benefits Head & Hands' peer-based sex education program: The Sense Project.
A suggested $10 donation goes directly to peer education manual printing, wooden penises (in all shapes & sizes), Health Animation in classrooms, Youth-led media projects on sexuality and so much more.
At Faggity we dance to make sex education a priority in Montreal high schools and communities, since it's been phased out of the curriculum in 2005 with the Education Reform. Boo!
Come pay us a visit: shake our hands and shake your booty.

February 20th GLAMOUR PUSS(Y)
Head & Hands and the Playhouse cordially invite you to:
Faggity Ass Fridays: GLAMOUR PUSS(Y)
Head & Hands’ Faggity dance party to support queer-positive sex ed.
Don’t you wish your Valentines Day was spent at a queer Cabaret? It’s not too late to get some February Faggity love! Join us at The Playhouse on February 20th for a night of old Hollywood glamour with a good dose of faggity ass style! Faggity Ass Fridays is proud to present “A Series of Uncoventional Love Stories”, a cabaret performance curated by Kaitlyn Prest and Kelly Escofery that will pull on your heart strings with tales of passion, cyborg love, first kisses and polyamourous sock puppets. MontrĂ©al’s best queer dance party to follow.
As always, money raised from this monthly event goes directly to the Sense Project, Head & Hands’ inclusive, holistic sex education program. At a time when STI rates are on the rise, homophobia and transphobia are ever-present, and Montreal youth still do not have access to a comprehensive sex ed curriculum in high school, supporting the Sense Project is as important as ever. For more info: www.headandhands.ca / 514-481-0277.
