If you missed Lady Bunny yesterday at Matty’s, don’t worry! The legendary entertainer is performing again tonight at 10 p.m. (Matty’s 2100 Wilton Drive, Wilton Manors.)
Stonewall National Museum & Archives presents the film, Training Rules at their Wilton Manors gallery (2157 Wilton Drive) at 7 p.m. The film depicts the 2006 case involving student athlete Jennifer Harris, who, in conjunction with the National Center for Lesbian Rights, filed charges against Pennsylvania State University and basketball coach Rene Portland for discrimination based on sexual orientation. This lawsuit inspired others whose lives were shattered during Coach Portland’s reign to come forward. The film focuses on these individuals and investigates why organizations, established to protect these athletes have done so little to end this common form of victimization. Free to attend, but there is a suggested donation of $5 with light refreshments served courtesy of Barefoot Wine and Bubbly.
