Available for over a year

“In a weird way, that shame makes the pride worthwhile because when you overcome it, you’re so much stronger. All of the struggle I’ve had because of being queer is actually one of my favourite things about me now” In this special bonus episode of Building Queertopia, Shane Jenek and Chelcee Grimes examine their relationship with Pride: the event and the word itself. They look back on the beginnings of the queer rights movement as we know it and discuss why the parades, parties and protests are still necessary in 2021. What does the word pride mean to you?
