Our theme for 2026 stresses the urgency of our cause, and the fact that there is still so much to do. Pride has never been 'just a party', and on our watch it never will be.

More on the theme (in English): www.copenhagenpride.dk/en/pride-unt...

If you have a Royal Family, you have deference.

If you have a Royal Family, you have a class system.

If you have a RF, you essentially say, "These people are better than everyone else by dint of birth & should maintain enormous influence, wealth and power."

Why would anyone want that at all?

Lord Mayor: "In Copenhagen, a welcoming city that has long championed the rights of its LGBTQIA+ citizens and visitors, we see Pride as a moment of celebration but also as a moment of reflection on how far we have come, and how far we have yet to go." Strong support from us to Budapest!

Banning children from using devices won't stop kids going online.

It creates secrecy, it will stop kids from talking to trusted adults when they come across dangerous content.

It also takes the responsibility from companies like X cleaning up their act on misinformation, abusive/dangerous content.

@luhmann@hachyderm.io on Mastodon: So when Trump decides to go get Greenland he’s just going to fly in and kidnap our prime minister. Great. You have a unscrupulous and clinically insane idiot elected as your president and he wants to own the world. I have absolutely no trust in any of you Americans whether you are pronounced MAGA or if you β€œdidn’t vote for the guy”: Your elected president is a megalomaniac dictator and it’s your fucking responsibility to stop him.

Reports say Budapest’s mayor may face charges for allowing Pride to proceed despite the government ban.

Wearing it also shows solidarity with the thousands of incredible people who work so hard to reduce infections, support those living with HIV, and tackle stigma. I'm proud to call so many of you my friend.

Let's not stop the fight to get to zero.

Wearing it still feels like an act of defiance. In 1991, at my high school, I was told to remove my Red Ribbon because it was "inappropriate" in a catholic school (the same school where anti-abortion activists led 'sex education' classes).

Today, 1 December, is #WorldAIDSday. For forty years we have been battling this epidemic, and I'm wearing my Red Ribbon for all those we have lost, including my uncle Ian, and my friends Andrew and Richard.

Coventry South needs a by-election soon Zarah Sultana has no mandate for disarming the people of Britain and betraying Ukraine

"To say 'Zelenskyy is no friend of the working class' is an insulting, facile distraction from the fact that Sultana refuses to support the Ukrainian people’s fight for existence."

Proper cold fury and moral clarity from @paulmason.bsky.social on Sultana.

No kings (except penguins)
No queens (except drag queens)
No monarchs (except butterflies)
Hereditary power is offensive nonsense in 21st century.
