UK BLACK PRIDE / THE QUEER EDINBURGH FRINGE 2024

OUTCAST UK

Monday, 12 August 2024 - 30 minutes

UK Black Pride took place on Sunday 11th August 2024, just a week after racist violence erupted on the UK's streets. Far right rioting, violent public racist attacks and inflammatory rhetoric have left some people of colour fearful or in their own homes.
The UK's black and brown population have barely begun to process what has gone on. UK Black Pride this year was taking place in the middle of a global war on woke by the far right around the world.

We begin to start the conversations about how safe we feel after these events and why UK Black Pride was such an important statement. Graeme Smith talk's the morning after the event to Asad Zafar a non binary queer activist, muslim and sexual health testing outreach worker in London.

Graeme also talks to comedian and writer Holly Stars who is live from the Edinburgh fringe with news of their new drag comedy show "JUSTICE FOR HOLLY".

and Kev McGrath is on hand with a check on the week's biggest LGBTQ news stories from around the world.
