Poland: To understand the month of rainbow pride, one must first experience rainbow shame

Why are we celebrating Pride Month? The history that we commemorate in this way can be recalled quickly and efficiently. But it's not the Stonewall riots that the people who get pissed off at the rainbow logos of their favorite corporations and equality marches are not what they want. People want to know why you can't be proud to be straight, or why someone should be proud of something that is not an achievement. It will not be a bold statement if I say that these questions are asked rather rhetorically.

Turkey: METU Pride Parade case has been postponed to 30 April!

Turkey: The only just outcome is the acquittal of the METU Pride human rights defenders
