Show All Dates

As part of Drag It Out’s Pride Takeover of the Ritzy, Drag It Out are proud to present Love Isn’t Straight Forward. 

Across six bold and deeply personal shorts, this programme explores queer desire, identity and belonging through stories of first love, chosen family, nightlife, cultural expectation, addiction, ageing, and the quiet courage it takes to live authentically. Followed by a Q&A with the creative teams from the films hosted by Rasheed Bailey (Iris Prize, Raindance, Outfest, NewFest, InsideOut).
