Calgary Queer Arts Society Description
While the term queer often refers to people who are LGBTTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, two-spirit and questioning), Fairytales understands queer to also include those who subscribe to culturally, politically, artistically, and otherwise alternative and innovative ways of contributing to society. We see queer as a vista, a way of looking at the world differently- with an eye towards diversity, criticality and inclusion.
Fairytales adds a dynamic flare to Calgary's cultural offerings while improving upon the city's national and international reputation as an accepting destination, having a positive impact on residents of Calgary and on tourism.

With a trans woman playing a nonbinary character and a plot that reflects the full spectrum of gender and sexuality, Head Over Heels is a major step forward. #queerart http://ow.ly/vHRz30llmJj
