Ep6 LGBTQ+ Venues and Events part 2 - LGBTI Pride Pretoria ft Bruce Walker
After a bit of a break the podcast is back and in this episode I chat to Bruce Walker, founder and organizer of LGBTI Pride Pretoria. We talk about gay Pride in general as well as Pretoria Pride that will be held on 4 December 2021. All the details are available on the LGBTI Pride Pretoria Facebook page but here is some extra insight into some of the challenges and the purpose of Pride. I hope it will give you something to think about, act upon, and that Pride events will become a "party with a purpose" for you as well. It is also the first episode in which I have to use the "explicit language" tag. Hahaha.
