Dating Unlocked S2 Dating Unlocked S2

Dating Unlocked S2

In Dating Unlocked, hopeful romantics from the LGBTQ2S+ community move beyond curated social media and dating profiles to find love in real life, and potentially share the key to their hearts. From the traditional to more radical, there are daters from all walks of life who share the same goal - to find a hook-up, a date or their one and only.

In each episode, our lead dater selects someone they’d like to continue the romance with – by choosing between three prospective dates. To assist these love seekers in creating a connection with the lead dater, each episode involves games, activities and intimate moments tailored to showcase their personalities and interests. After weighing their options, the lead dater extends a secret invite for a second date. Will the chosen person unlock those fuzzy, flirty feelings and show up or leave them alone behind the door?

There is only one way to find out!

Why you stay

Domestic violence, both physical and sexual, has regularly made the headlines in recent years. But behind these acts, there is always a context of psychological violence between the abuser and the victim. This violence, which is increasingly recognized as being as damaging, if not more so, than physical violence, is nevertheless largely misunderstood. In her quest to help demystify this type of violence, host Schelby Jean-Baptiste talks to several experts and victims, including special guests such as India Desjardins, Lili Boisvert and Khate Lessard.

Drag Heals season 4 episode 1 'Ain't She Sweet'

Drag Heals season 4 episode 1 'Ain't She Sweet'
A new group of Kings, Queens, and Monarchs begin crafting their personal stories into a stage show by asking themselves, "What was a pivotal moment in my life and how did I change because of it?" Tracey Erin Smith spends time with her mom, Jodi in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.

Drag Heals is a hybrid stage workshop and documentary TV series that follows six drag artists over an intensive month long workshop to build their own show. In each workshop, a guest coach joins stage director Tracey Erin Smith in exploring soul-deep story sharing techniques as well as the unique talents and skills required from a drag performer.

Over the course of the intensive workshops and story crafting, the participants dive deep into their personal lives to unearth lessons learned and bring them back to the audience as a gift. They are both the pirate and the pirated, the island and treasure. The resulting stories are emotional and cathartic, both for the drag artists and the audience who share in the experience.

Five girls from five Russian cities love, worry, search for themselves and sing about it. The music of the new era is born in kitchens. It goes out on social networks. It conquers listeners on its own - without labels or rotation. It gets millions of plays on social networks. It contains honesty and the pulse of the moment. The present. And the future.
