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.

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. Montréal’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.

FAGGITY UPDATES Winter 2008
In case you haven't heard, Faggity Ass Friday 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!
Faggity Ass Fridays is all about simultaneously creating and supporting Queer Community. On November 12, Nora Rohman (FAF Event Coordinator) was invited to speak on behalf of Head and Hands at a MYCAH (Montreal Youth Coalition Against Homophobia) roundtable discussion on queer youth and organizing in Montréal. She presented on Faggity Ass, and spoke about fundraising for social change, queer politics, making links to youth based activism, and dance party madness!
There are also a few new members of Team Faggity! Emily Cordeaux is a new intern on FAF, and she has been working tirelessly behind the scenes to help boost promo and support the event. Her efforts have helped to wield an even larger scope of new attendees, and provided much needed support to the Event Coordinator! Emily is an important part of what makes FAF a sustainable fundraising project.
Ossie Michelin is a long time Head & Hands volunteer who has joined the Faggity team as our new door-coordinator! He helps keep the night running smoothly. Look for his smiling face at the door, and grab some free safer sex supplies from him at the next Faggity.
We are loving our home at The Playhouse; their unique stage set-up provides a band friendly and dance friendly experience. We have some big plans for the New Year. We don't want to give too much away, but keep your eyes peeled for; drag kings, dress-up themes, Nightwood, sexuality skits, burlesque, local film screenings, gay prom, old DJs, new DJs and more! The upcoming FAF dates for the New Year are January 23rd and February 20th. Come pay us a visit: shake our hands and shake your booty. Doors at 10pm.. Bring ID and no liquids. Join our Facebook group!

Faggity Ass Fridays’ Hanky Code!!!
Faggity Ass Fridays’ Hanky Code!!!
Our hanky code may be a bit different, as we have tweaked it to accommodate as many folks as possible. We also simplified it, because honestly, who can tell the difference between robin’s egg blue and baby blue in dark lighting? The hanky of your choice is worn in the back pocket of your jeans. The right or left pocket gives your hanky a different significance. Are there Femmes, and dress/skirt fans out there? Jeans aren’t your thing? Just make your hanky into a bracelet and wear it on your left or right arm. Be creative! Please keep in mind that just because someone is flagging does not mean that consent goes out the window. Be respectful and have fun!
