FILMOUT – GBF – 10th Anniversary
7 pm | $12, advance, $15 at the door
Hillcrest Cinemas – Landmark Theatres. 3965 Fifth Ave.
We are proud to be bringing back the FilmOut Audience Award winning comedy GBF for its 10th Anniversary. Director Darren Stein and guests will be in attendance for a Q&A after the screening.
Social warfare erupts in this edgy, outrageous comedy by Darren Stein (Jawbreaker, Sparkler) set in a suburban high school when the school’s powerful “Clique Queens” (Sasha Pieterse, Andrea Bowen, Xosha Roquemore) try to turn Tanner (Michael J.Willett) and Brent (Paul Iacono), two closeted gay teenagers, into the must-have social accessory of the year: The Gay Best Friend [“G.B.F.”]. As the girls fight for the edge to make them most popular, the boys deal with dysfunctional parents, down-low jocks and horny Mormons, culminating in a Prom that will blow the top off their town. With Megan Mullally, Natasha Lyonne, Rebecca Gayheart and Jonathan Silverman. For more information and advance tickets, visit bit.ly/3D3cujp.
Light Up the Cathedral
7 pm | St. Paul’s Cathedral, 2728 Sixth Ave.
You are invited to join LGBTQ Faith Leaders and Faithful as we gather together, in person, to celebrate our faith and thrive. Join Dean Penny Bridges, LGBT Faith Leaders and Allied Faith Leaders for an Interfaith Pride Celebration at St. Paul’s Episcopal Cathedral. After the service, the Cathedral will be lit in rainbow colors.
San Diego Pride and St. Paul’s Episcopal Cathedral through the Light of Pride Award honor and recognize community and religious organizations and Faith Leaders that serve as a role model for affirmation and service to the San Diego LGBT Faith Community and strive to make the San Diego LGBT world a better place. The organization / person chosen will have demonstrated a commitment and passion to helping the LGBT Community.
The 2023 Light of Pride Award will be presented to Temple Emanu-El and accepting the award will be Rabbi Devorah Marcus and Rabbi Benj Fried.
