QUEEN'S PRIDE PROJECT
Formed in 2008/2009, QPP was created to organize and plan Pride Week for Queen's University in Kingston Ontario. The very first Pride Week was organized in 2006/2007 by EQuIP (Education on Queer Issues Project) but as more and more events were added the queer community and their allies on campus decided that a seperate club was needed to handle such an elaborate project. Pride Week's focus is on a balance of social and educational events for the queer community and their allies at Queen's and the surrounding Kingston area. Our hope is to foster and provide a queer-positive environment for continued education of queer issues. Events are planned to cover a spectrum of issues and to reach as many people as possible - from first years to tenured professors.

2012 will mark Pride Week's 6th year on campus. Queen's Pride Week is focused on bringing a balance of social and education events to the campus for the queer community, allies and surrounding Kingston area. Our hope is to foster and provide a queer-positive environment for continued education of queer issues. Events are planned to cover a spectrum of issues and to reach as many people as possible.
While QPP realizes the controversial nature of the term 'queer', we feel it is an all-inclusive term allowing us to refer to the community which has a sexual orientation and/or gender identity that does not conform to heteronormative society. While we understand that not everyone will be supportive of this term we hope it is accepted for our purposes.
