Around the world about 500 pride parades and LGBTI festivals have already been cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. Tonight we hear about how our communities around the world are coming together to create a 24hr global event online which will feature celebrities, politicians, Australian royalty and many grassroots stories from local pride communities.

Our guest, Robyn Kennedy, knows Pride. She was part of the first Sydney Mardi Gras – a party and protest in 1978. She is coordinating the Asia-Pacific component of Global Pride.
