Listen: People Just Do Something – Pride is a protest: Black pride in Bristol
As Pride becomes more visible each year, it risks leaving behind the very people who helped build it. Too often, Pride ignores the deep inequalities within its own institutions and sidelines the queer voices of the Global Majority.
Mose-Issie, Lisa Inneh, and Teena Lashmore discuss the intersection of being a member of the Global Majority and queer, being capable of speaking truth to power, and challenging the status quo, and they explore the institutional racism still embedded in Pride organisations; the lack of funding and recognition for Global Majority-led queer events; and what true inclusion and solidarity actually look like.
