Reviving The Roost

Title
Reviving The Roost
Description
Vivek Shraya reflects on The Roost, a gay bar in Edmonton she used to visit, and how it provided her with a sense of community, despite how complicated navigating a queer space can be when you do not fit into a community's expectations.
While Shraya was already out when Reviving The Roost was released, the short is set during a period before she transitioned. Since Shraya wrote (and discussed ways she presented more feminine while at The Roost), directed, and narrated the piece, I feel categorizing it as transgender, albeit implicitly, is applicable.
