Happy pride month! In this episode, we explore the history and beginnings of pride, as we delve into the intersection of queerness and upholding white supremacy, as well as rainbow capitalism, invalidating discourse, fetishisation and gender fluidity. Throughout this discussion, we reference sobering statistics and the harsh reality of the queer experience in 2021.
