"We don't need Pride anymore" is something we get to hear every now and then, from both our allies but also members of the LGBTQ+ community. The feeling of not needing Pride can be probably summarised by one word: privilege. A privilege to live in countries where queer people can live relatively safe. This is not the case everywhere, and in this panel discussion we are going to talk about the lives of those of us that are not as lucky. Our panelists are going to talk about their experiences from Hungary, Syria and Norway before 1972 (the year homosexuality was decriminalised).

In the panel:

Anna Szlavi (she/her), Hungary

Amr (he/him), Syria

Aasmund Robert Vik (he/him), Norway before 1972

The discussion is moderated by Gabriela Warden (she/her) from Poland.
