Today I'm talking to Puck (she/her) who is a self-described badass active old girl about Pride and why Pride must still be a protest in the context of the Netherlands as well as LGBT* movements globally

While there are many many reasons for pride still needing to be a protest a few ones that speak about are: the origins of pride, the efforts to decriminalize queerness, rainbow capitalism, pinkwashing, gay racism and public display of queer resistance

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH AND HAPPY QUEER LIBERATION
