Toronto Pride Week '98 Coverage - Part One
	Phew! What a party! In this episode we bring you the first half of our Mega Pride Mega Coverage with scenes from the many events during the week(days) of Toronto's 1998 Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transsexual and Transgender Pride celebrations.
Triangle School Prom '98
	We visited with the kids from the Toronto Board of Education's Triangle Program in episode eleven, and now some of them are ready to take on that big world out there. We join them - and a few older queers who wish their prom was like this - in their grad festivities the weekend before Pride.
Pride Week 1998 Proclamation and Flag Raising at City Hall
	This year's Pride Week was formally kicked off with the Mayor raising our colors and giving a speech he wasn't entirely comfortable with (complete with a trademark Mel slipup) at Toronto City Hall. The religious right also took this opportunity to use their right of free assembly to tell us why we shouldn't have ours'.
The "Girlz of Cell Block B"
	In a change from the usual gay video prison scene :-), the B-Girlz belt out some words with meaning at Buddies in Bad Times Theater.
Mayor's Pride Breakfast
	We join Mayor Mel Lastman as he warms up the griddle for a group of his newfound queer friends, and changes forever the way you think about the phrase "Will you be staying for breakfast?"
Queering the Nation Conference
	In one of the biggest gathering of minds on queer issues that this city has ever seen, the Queering the Nation conference took York University by storm this June 24-27. We show you a bit of the conference, including the opening address by Michelle Falardeau-Ramsay of the Canadian Human Rights Commission.
AmalgamASIAN
	To mark its 10th annual queer Asian conference and the amalgamation of Toronto into a sprawling megacity, Gay Asians Toronto deemed this year's gathering AmalgamASIAN. The conference delved into many aspects of the queer Asian identity, including racism, representations in mainstream media, and queer Asian culture in arts, writing, music and film.
S.P.A.C.E. for Safe Cycling
	In recognition of all the bi(cycling) homos out there, the City of Toronto's Cycling Ambassadors give a Pride Week talk to cyclists, rollerbladers and other road users about maneuvering safely and defensively.
Open House at Youth Link Inner City
	It's no secret that many youth who live on the street get there by being kicked out of home because they're queer. And sometimes... sometimes, the places they go to seek help deal them much the same crap. We stop by the Youth Link Inner City open house to check out a poster exhibit created by street-involved youth that takes a look at homophobia in street youth services.
AIDS Candlelight Vigil 1998
	We close this episode with a reminder that Pride Week is not just about celebrating, but also remembering, and thus the annual AIDS Vigil held at the AIDS Memorial in Cawthra Park.
