Our Story
For Gay Pride 2020, House of Pride released, 'QUEER NATION', a short film honouring their beautiful sister Gartina J. — a collage of photos and video clips from the Queer 90’s set to a new house single by the House of Pride, feat. Loleatta Holloway, “Because our lives, we live as we choose, but our love binds us together.” After an overwhelming response, 'QUEER NATION’ went on to be part of the Image+Nation Film Festival 33, opening the Queerment (films made in Quebec) section.

Following a 16-year hiatus from working together, House of Pride reunited in 2017 to mourn the loss of their colleague, Garth Johnson. This reconnection sparked the idea to envision and create a series of new collaborations.

From 1993-2000, House of Pride rocked the stages of Montreal and beyond, dazzling audiences with their unique take on gender and cultural diversity, while delivering a hopeful message of love, unity, and peace.

These six dynamic performers merged drag with performance art, bringing awareness and resources to the LGBTQ2+ community through wild club performances, elaborate multidisciplinary theatre productions, and fundraising appearances at the World Ball, Black & Blue, and other circuit parties in Montreal, Toronto, New York, and beyond. They became known for their entertaining performances where they made use of their platform to champion the ongoing dialogue around gender politics, racial equality, LGBTQ2+ rights, oppression and abuse, consciousness for the environment, and a new level of respect for mother earth: the ultimate goddess.
