Parada povezuje // Pride connects

[English below]

Na prvi večer naše nove serije dogodkov PARADA POVEZUJE bomo predvajali film MALA MALA. Film govori o življenju devetih transspolnih oseb, ki živijo v Puertu Ricu, in njihovem boju za enakost in osebno identiteto, pravice in svoboščine.

“Mala Mala provides a thought-provoking look at where gender identity and cultural identity intersect, while showing that life still revolves around the search for selfhood and the love between friends”, je napisano v Huffington Post-u. Po predvajanju filma sledi diskusija.

Prizadevamo si za povezovanje lokalnih LGBTIQ+ mladih, aktivistk_ov in vseh, ki jih zanima politična plat parad ponosa in boji za človekove pravice LGBTIQ+ oseb v Sloveniji in po svetu. Zavedamo se, da je to, da se pojavimo kot LGBTIQ+ osebe na ulici, samo po sebi politično dejanje. In vemo, da to ni enostavno – zato želimo ustvarjati varen(varnejši) prostor za vse LGBTIQ+ osebe in prostor opolnomočenja.

With PRIDE CONNECTS, we strive to connect the local LGBTIQ+ youth, activists, and all those interested in the political side of Pride(s) and LGBTIQ+ Human Rights Struggles in Slovenia and across the world. We know, that being an openly LGBTIQ+ person and walking down any public space is a political act, and we know it is not easy – so we want to create a safe(r) space for all LGBTIQ+ people and a place of empowerment.
