Below is our listing of local lesbian events in Ottawa for June. These Ottawa queer women events have something for everyone, and are updated on a regular basis by someone who lives in Ottawa.
The Abortion Monologues, by Jane Cawthorne, reveals an aspect of women’s lives that is usually undiscussed.
In this staged reading, 20 fictional women discuss their experiences and reveal the complex, often ambivalent and contradictory responses they have to their situations. In doing so, they reveal their lives and the human condition. Whatever your thoughts on this issue are, wherever you rest on the spectrum of belief, this play challenges you to think again about what you believe and why you believe it.
Tickets are $20 at the door. CASH ONLY
Doors open at 7pm.

Days in service! Nights in bondage! A never-ending stream of erotic titillation! It all sounds pretty exciting, doesn’t it? Well, the reality of 24/7 doesn’t look much like the fantasy… but for those who deeply desire it, 24/7 D/s can be one of the most intimate and rewarding forms of relationship. This workshop covers the basics: figuring out your motivations and values, the mechanics of 24/7 dynamics, communication methods and protocols, typical challenge points, and ways to explore and grow within your dynamic. Expect to go home with plenty of questions to think about later! Appropriate for people considering 24/7 as well as those already in 24/7 relationships. 7-9pm

This is an interactive workshop for bisexuals, people curious about bisexuality (their own or others'), and people who aren't sure how they feel about the whole bisexual thing. What is a bisexual? How do bisexuals manage their relationships? How does the world respond to bisexuals? What kind of concerns might a bi person need to deal with, and what kind of joys can bisexuality bring with it? How can you be supportive of a friend or lover who might be bisexual? What about people who call themselves "queer," "omnisexual" and "pansexual"? We'll talk about all of this and more in an atmosphere of respect and openness. 7-9pm
