🌈 Queer Pride Africa – Just 18 Days to Go! 🎉

Happening: July 30th, 2025

Hey folks, We’re counting down the days to Queer Pride Africa, a grassroots celebration of visibility, resistance, and joy in a region where being LGBTQ+ often means surviving in silence.

This year's event is all about community—bringing queer folks from across Africa together to dance, speak, and live boldly.

Whether it’s in rural farms, refugee settlements, or underground safe houses, pride still lives here. And on July 30th, we’ll show the world.

🗓️ 18 days left. 📍Somewhere in Africa, where being queer is still a risk.

💜 But the love? Loud and powerful.

If you believe in global queer liberation, drop a word of solidarity, share this post, or simply keep us in your thoughts as we gear up.

Your visibility keeps us strong. 🌍🏳️‍🌈

This has been something I have wondered about for a while, and while bigots and accepting people can exist in any generation, I just cannot help but notice how this is so prominent amongst a lot of Gen X.

From J.K. Rowling to Ricky Gervais to Dave Chappelle, I notice how people seem shocked that entertainers and creators that promote themselves as progressive turned out to be bigoted assholes, but when looking back in retrospect, it seems that there were a lot of red flags, or at least signs that they were fakers.

And yet, they got away with so much of just being "a product of their time", but when looking at the bigger picture, it's hard not to realize that it seems like it was so easy to pretend to be a progressive ally, and way too easy to be accepted and worshipped.

I mean, look at all those "brave" stories of writers going through so much just to have a vague 5-second moment of a gay kiss and being seen as some sort of revolutionary.

Of course for something so simple, they could easily hide their bigotry if standards are so low.

Why was this, and why such gullibility?
