As Pride grows more visible each year, it risks sidelining the very people who built it. Too often, it overlooks deep inequalities and marginalises queer voices from the Global Majority. At PJDS, we’ll explore what it means to be both queer and of the Global Majority—speaking truth to power, challenging institutional racism within Pride, and pushing for real inclusion, recognition, and solidarity.
