"We're here, we're queer, get used to it!"
In this special bonus episode of Building Queertopia, Shane Jenek and Chelcee Grimes examine their relationships with Pride: the event and the word itself
βIn a weird way, that shame makes the pride worthwhile because when you overcome it, youβre so much stronger. All of the struggle Iβve had because of being queer is actually one of my favourite things about me nowβ
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.
