Community, inclusivity and queer joy: a webinar with Neil Hudson-Basing
This month is Pride month, and both the London Pride parade and Trans Pride are going to be taking place in London in the coming weeks. Pride is a protest. It began with a riot, after police raided a queer bar in New York City in 1969 and the community fought back. Since then Pride marches have taken place in many countries across the world, although, still today, there are 64 countries that criminalise homosexuality.
To mark Pride 2023, I spoke to Neil Hudson-Basing, Senior Events & Community Manager at Pink News and host at our 2023 EVCOMference and EVCOM Clarion Awards, about queerness, community and sobriety.
