Asifa Lahore, drag queen and activist
‘Pride Month 2020 is a weird one without the usual celebration and burst of colours. I refuse to let this lockdown limit me so I have been vocal online, either by sharing messages of positivity or by sending performances to various Prides that are taking their content to the internet.
‘Let’s use this month to reflect on the year that has passed and what more we can do to move the LGBTQ+ community further. There are parts of our community, namely the BAME POC and Trans communities that experience many difficulties – let’s use our privilege and position to ensure no one gets left behind and we actually create positive change. Happy Pride!’
