Now that Brussels has officially kicked off Pride season, join Kim and Rasmus for an unfiltered conversation about why Pride as a protest is still f-ing important. They talk about their pride in taking over a city: the feeling of freedom, allowing you to be who you are.
“You cannot silence a rainbow.” Kim and Rasmus also discuss how the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is attacking fundamental rights by trying to ban Budapest Pride – and how he is actually harming the mental wellbeing of kids himself. Both will be present to protect the local LGBTQIA+ community.
In closing Kim and Rasmus tell us what keeps them going: “We are one community and we stand together – but we are also very diverse. That is the wonderful thing about Pride.”
