Dating Game at Slack Alice: Part One
	If you've ever watched the TV show and said to yourself, "Man, some fags and dykes would really spice this up," your wish has come true. 10%-Qtv was there as potential suitors - the females in this episode - answer the tough questions in hopes of winning that special evening with a stranger.
CGSL Snowball Tourney
	For one last taste of winter before we put our short shorts on, we tossed a few snowballs at the gay and lesbian Cabbagetown Group Softball League's February tournament.
"Meal Trans"
	We drop by the 519 Community Centre to learn more about a weekly free meal program for, and run by, transgendered folks.
Singing Out! - "Prayers for Bobby"
	Our cameras were at the Canadian premiere performance of "Prayers for Bobby" by Toronto's 120-member lesbian and gay chorus, the Singing Out! choir. Based on Leroy Aarons' book of the same name, this musical narrative tells of Mary Griffith, a mother who prayed that her gay son Bobby would be "healed." It recounts the mother's grief over his suicide, and her transformation from fearful churchgoer to a national crusader for gay youth. The story also tells of Bobby's "coming-out" to his family when he was 16 and the conflict between his religion, family, and his understanding of himself as a gay man.
Pride '98 Co-chair David Clark
	The end of June's not that far away, and you know what that means boys and girls - yes, it's time to show the world your pride! We catch up with Pride Toronto 1998 Co-chair David Clark and find out about the preparations for the new megacity's celebrations, aptly-themed "MEGA-PRIDE." June 22-28, 1998.
Health Education AIDS Liaison
	The Toronto Health Education AIDS Liaison ("HEAL") takes a different - and for many, controversial - view on AIDS, asserting " 'HIV=AIDS=DEATH' is FALSE." HEAL maintains that AIDS has spawned an industry that mainly serves to enrich careers and business, while doing little for those who suffer. We provide some insight into their upcoming conference at the UofT on April 11, 1998.
