PRIDE HAS A PRO-COLONIALISM PROBLEM


Listen Later

Is Pride month in Sweden! Pride flags and rainbows can be seen everywhere,

libraries, healthcare centres, businesses, etc. It is not for nothing that
Sweden is ranked, year after year, as one of the most gay-friendly countries in
the world. Stockholm Pride Parade, which will happen on Saturday 3rd of this
year, is one of the biggest in the world, especially because everybody is
welcomed.
In this episode we talk about what it’s like to live in one of the most gay-friendly
countries in the world as an immigrant, including reflecting on such privilege,
countries where to be gay is illegal and how is that weaponized against
non-white LGBTQ people, and why colonialism doesn’t help gay people from the global
south.
