CLAUDE CAHUN (1894–1954)

MARSHA P. JOHNSON (1945–1992) AND SYLVIA RIVERA (1951–2002)

French photographer, sculptor, and writer. Took the gender-neutral name Claude Cahun in 1917. Cahun’s art, which political as well as personal, purposefully undermined the traditional gender norms. In their autobiography Disavowals, they wrote : “Masculine ? Feminine ? It depends on the situation. Neuter is the only gender that always suits me.”

Transgender women, self-identified drag queens, and pioneers within the LGBTI+ movement from the late 1960s. Marsha and Sylvia were notable among the rioters at Stonewall in 1969. In 1970, they founded STAR, Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries, an organization that worked to support young, homeless drag queens, transgender women, and sex workers.

Cahun died in 1954 from health issues derived from their imprisonment by the Nazis from 1944-1945 and is buried with their partner, Marcel Moore.

Sylvia Rivera died from liver cancer, while Marsha P. Johnson was murdered by unknown assailants during Pride in New York in 1992 and thrown into the Hudson River.

DAVID KATO (1964–2011)

FANNYANN EDDY (1974–2004)

Ugandan teacher and LGBTI+ activist, co-founder of SMUG (Sexual Minorities Uganda), and often named as the first openly gay man in Uganda. He worked both nationally and internationally against the anti-LGBTI+ legislation in Uganda and spoke in front of the UN. In 2010, Ugandan magazine Rolling Stone published the names and pictures of over a 100 presumed LGBTI+ Ugandans, under the headline “Hang them”.

Sierra Leonean LGBTI+ activist and confounder of The Sierra Leone Lesbian and Gay Association. Worked nationally and internationally for decriminalization of LGBTI+ people in Sierra Leone and spoke in front of the UN.

Three months later, a man broke into Kato’s home and murdered him with a hammer. He was arrested but claimed that the murder happened because Kato would not pay him for sex.

The verdict was 30 years of forced labor for robbery.

FannyAnn Eddy was murdered on October 9th, 2004, when a group of men broke into the office of the association, raped her, stabbed her, and broke her neck. She was survived by a 10-year old son and her girlfriend Esther.

MONDAY 17/8

MONDAY 12:00–13:00 QUEER REPRESENTATION IN SOCIETY LGBTI+ Youth would like to debate the lack of representation in our society. The debate will focus on how we can all become more inclusive and acknowledge that there are different people in this world. The debate will challenge our possible blindness to our privileges. In order to shed light on the broad spectrum of differences within the LGBTI+ community, we want to challenge the issue presented by one single idea, for example the white homosexual cis man, as a representative for the whole LGBTI+ community. Language : Danish.

Participants : TBA Location : Tent 1 : David Kato

12:00–13:30 SCHOOLS MEETING LGBTI+ YOUTH PANEL Pride 2020 invites you to panel discussions with young LGBTI+ persons – aimed at 8.-9. graders and high schoolers.

The event will begin with a short introduction to bi+ sexuality and biphobia. Language : English.

doubt many LGBTI+ seniors have stayed and are staying indoors to avoid the virus. This means these elderly are very isolated from their normal community as many have little contact with their families and only few have children. We will discuss how these experiences differ from those of non LGBTI+ elderly. Language : Danish.

Participants : TBA Location : Tent 4 : FannyAnn Eddy

14:30–16:00 I AM (LOVE)D What makes us who we are ? I am (Love)d is an art installation, in which you will walk through a forest of genealogical trees, collected to represent the wide variety of LGBTQ+ families.

Location : Tent 3 : Claude Cahun

15:00–16:00 IS THE EU DOING ENOUGH FOR LGBTI RIGHTS ?

DEBATE WITH DANISH EU PARLIAMENTARIANS The rights of LGBTI+ people are under pressure worldwide and also within the EU, where "LGBT free zones" and the fight against "LGBT ideology" are part of the political reality in several member states. Later in the year, the European Commission expects to present an EU strategy for LGBTI+ equality. We have gathered three Danish EU parliamentarians : Asger Christensen (V), Kira Peter-Hansen (SF) and Karen Melchior (R) as well as LGBTI+ Program Manager at Amnesty International, Helle Jacobsen, to hear their views on the matter. Does the EU do enough to protect the rights of LGBTI+ people inside and outside the EU ? How is the European Parliament working to promote LGBTI+ equality ? And what do the three politicians expect from the Commission's strategy on this area ? Language : Danish.

Participants : Asger Christensen (V), Kira Peter-Hansen (SF) and Karen Melchior (R) as well as LGBTI+ Program Manager at Amnesty International, Helle Jacobsen Location : Tent 1 : David Kato

14:00–15:00 CONVERSATIONAL SALON ABOUT LIFE AS ASEXUAL At this panel, you will have the opportunity to hear personal stories and anecdotes about living as asexual in Denmark. A group of asexual people will share their lived experiences to give the audience a more concrete and tangible view of situations, meetings, and thoughts where being asexual is particularly prominent. The conversation will centre on three overarching themes : 1) discovering your asexuality, 2) experiences with sex, and 3) the feeling of being different. Language : Danish.

18:00–19:00 THE VALUE OF CONSENT-BASED LAW Although there has been a lot of media coverage about the work around getting a consent-based law approved, the focus has been mainly heteronormative and as such, the LGBTI+ community has been largely left out of the debate.

We will include the LGBTI+ community in this discussion about the value of consent-based legislation. Language : Danish.

12:00–13:30 LGBTI+ KNOWLEDGE IN THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM Copenhagen Pride invites you to a debate about norm critical education of professionals in the healthcare system. Healthcare professionals aren’t yet educated on the specific health challenges that LGBTI+ people face, hence a meeting with the healthcare system can feel transgressive for LGBTI+ people.

In this debate, we will talk about the possibilities of increasing healthcare professionals’ knowledge about LGBTI+ people, thus creating a more inclusive healthcare system. Language : Danish.

Participants : TBA Location : Tent 4 : FannyAnn Eddy

14:00–15:30 NONBINARY PEOPLE’S LEGAL RIGHTS

16:30–17:30 WE EXPECT A GREAT EVENT HERE

We’re lining up a strong panel of non-binary people to discuss the consequences of being nonbinary in a society that is created around binary genders.

Check online at facebook.com/copenhagenpride. Language : TBA.

Participants : TBA Location : Tent 4 : FannyAnn Eddy

15:00–16:00 PRIDE : A NEW PEOPLE’S RELIGION ?

A pride parade is a public (and loud) celebration of the values that a democracy can’t be without : Tolerance, inclusivity, consideration for others.

Collective confirmations of these values are often associated with the concept of a ‘people’s religion’ : Prides celebrate universal values as a public ritual, but they can also cause friction in society. They can be hijacked by businesses and political groups. What will it take to keep Pride as an open public ritual in the future ? Language : English.

Participants : Interviewer : Lars Henriksen (Foreperson, Copenhagen Pride), Stefan Schwarzkopf (Associate Professor, Copenhagen Business School), Sine Nørholm Just (Professor, Roskilde University) and Jannick Friis Christensen (PhD Fellow, Copenhagen Business School) Location : Tent 1 : David Kato

15:30–16:30 QUALITY OF LIFE AND LEGAL GENDER REASSIGNMENT In Denmark we use our social security number in many situations, which is why trans children are often confronted with the issue of their legal gender not matching their appearance. This can be embarrassing and humiliating, and it excludes trans children and young people from communities. In 2018, the opportunity for legal gender reassignment for children and young people were a part of the VLAK government’s LGBTI+ action plan.

In 2020, children and young people still do not have the possibility of legal gender reassignment. Language : Danish.

17:00–18:30 INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE : TRANS CHILDREN Trans children’s basic rights is an issued that causes a lot of debate and disagreement worldwide.

Language : English.

Participants : Dr. Annie Pullen Sansfacon, Camilla Vivian, Debi Jackson, Birna Björg Gu∂mundsdóttir, Jo Hirst and Helge Sune Nymand Location : Tent 2 : Marsha P. Johnson & Sylvia Rivera

What does Denmark do in its development political work for LGBTI+ people ?

14:00–15:00 LGBTI+ HEALTH – IS IT COMING ?

Checkpoint and Huset for Køn, Krop og Seksualitet are a response to the established healthcare system and they offer safe healthcare for LGBTI+ people.

LGBT Asylum receives inquiries from LGBTI+ people all around the world who have fled from their country of origin due to their sexuality and/or gender identity, and are now living in local communities.

15:00–16:00 WHAT DO THE POLITICIANS DO FOR YOUNG PEOPLE ?

Young LGBTI+ people have lower well-being, quality of life, and higher rates of loneliness than young cis hetero people. So how will the politicians create better well-being and more security for young LGBTI+ people in Denmark ?

Two experts are interviewed about the merits of these networks that are often criticised for having minimal influence on the improvement of working conditions for minorities. The networks often evolve into separate units that are excluded from other institutions. On the other hand, they can empower the diversity that would otherwise be cowed by more dominant workplace culture. We will discuss pros and cons as well as

At this year’s Copenhagen Pride Week, MIX COPENHAGEN will talk about their work with representation, sexuality, and gender in queer porn. Language : Danish.

Participants : MIX COPENHAGEN Location : Tent 3 : Claude Cahun

12:00–22:00 BIMBOS, DIVAS, DARLINGS AND OTHER EXISTENTIAL OVER- AND UNDERTONES Solidarity is about the right to be who you are without being put into boxes that dictate limitations and predictability.

Language : Danish.

Participants : Anette Andersen and Bjørn Ignatius Øckenholt Location : Tent 2 : Marsha P. Johnson & Sylvia Rivera / Tent 4 : FannyAnn Eddy

13:30–14:30 AGE, LABOUR MARKET, AND LGBTI+ A group of middle-aged and elderly LGBTI+ people have experienced challenges when looking for a job, or have experienced discrimination in their jobs, which have led to being let go or quitting. They will share a selection of their personal experiences and thoughts on these experiences and invite you to ask questions, comment, and contribute with your own experiences.

Language : Danish.

Participants : TBA Location : Tent 1 : David Kato

14:00–15:00 DISCRIMINATION WITHIN THE LGBTI+ COMMUNITY Discrimination within the LGBTI+ community is a consistent problem. How are society’s discrimination and phobias reflected in the LGBTI+ community, and how does ethnicity and status factor in ? Hear from LGBTI+ people from both minority and majority positions as they share their experiences with discrimination and phobias. What challenges do they face in the night life and in romantic relations ? And how are power dynamics expressed when it comes to ethnicity and asylum, refugee and citizen status ? Language : English .

Participants : TBA Location : Tent 2 : Marsha P. Johnson & Sylvia Rivera

14:00–15:30 YOUNG IN 2020 Are you interested in life as a young LGBTI+ person in 2020, then join us and hear different young people talk about their lives. You’ll learn about life as a young person and what it’s like to break the norms of gender identity, gender expression, and/or sexuality in 2020. Together they will give reasons why

Location : Tent 4 : FannyAnn Eddy

Diversity is messy, challenging, and essential. Additionally, diversity is also an essential reality. Diversity without inclusion will most likely end in complete chaos. Let’s explore how the movement and flexibility of inclusivity can help us reap the rewards of diversity. Language : English .

Participants : Deepak Kashyap [he/him] (Councillor/therapist, and diversity and inclusion expert) Location : Tent 3 : Claude Cahun

15:00–16:00 LGBTI+ SAFETY AT THE DOCTOR’S As an LBGTI+ person, seeing the doctor can be a challenge. You might experience that the doctor doesn’t know enough about LGBTI+ health or that the doctor either overlooks or hyperfocuses on your LBGTI+ identity. This means that many LGBTI+ people use the healthcare system less than the rest of the population – and this creates an inequality in health. We will ask what doctors can do to create more inclusive practices. How can you, as an LGBTI+ person feel more at ease going to the doctor ? Language : Danish.

Participants : TBA Location : Tent 1 : David Kato

15:30–16:30 FEMME, FABULOUS, AND MALE VOL. 2 We continue to explore femininity in men through conversations between airy-fairy, femme, feminine, and eccentric men. Being feminine as a man largely has negative connotations, which is why we want to explore and celebrate femme guys ; when are you most comfortable, where do you buy stilettos in all sizes, and how much glitter is too little glitter ? We’ll continue and expand the conversation from Winter Pride 2020. Language : Danish.

Participants : TBA Location : Tent 2 : Marsha P. Johnson & Sylvia Rivera

16:00–17:30 THE TRUTH ABOUT SURROGACY There are still many misunderstandings about surrogacy. Is it human trafficking ? Oppression of women ? Designer children ? How does the surrogate feel ?

How are the children ? Is it illegal ? Here you’ll get all the answers. Whether you’re for or against surrogacy, we encourage you to join us and ask questions. The panel will consist of a former surrogate mother, a teenager with two fathers and the foreperson of DARE. Language : Danish.

Participants : Mikkel Raahede and Louise Traberg Smidt Location : Tent 4 : FannyAnn Eddy

16:30–17:30 A CHAT WITH THE MINISTER FOR EQUALITY We’ll have a chat with the Minister for Equality about the Social Democratic government’s LGBTI+ visions. What happens when the former government’s action plan runs out in 2021 and what new actions can we expect to see from the Minister for Equality ? Language : Danish.

Participants : Mogens Jensen Location : Tent 1 : David Kato

FRIDAY 21/8

16:30–18:00 SEX IN THE DANISH NATIONAL CHURCH ?

19:00–20:00 ANTI LGBTI+ MOVEMENT IN POLAND

Clinical sexologist Tonny Bønløkke Hertz meets with two pastors from the Danish National Church and talks to them about guilt, shame, and sex.

Language : Danish.

In 2019 it was reported that several places in Poland had introduced so-called ‘LGBTI+ free zones’ with support from extreme-right groups. This has had massive consequences for the country’s LGBTI+ people who are facing political opposition as well as societal condemnation. Hear Polish scientists and activists from Warsaw and Lublin talk about their experiences and the continued fight for equal rights. Language : English.

Participants : Tonny Bønløkke Hertz and others Location : Tent 3 : Claude Cahun

17:00–18:30 STATUS ON COPENHAGEN 2021 In a year, Copenhagen Pride and Pan Idræt (sports) will host WorldPride and EuroGames in Copenhagen – and we’re definitely not the only ones excited to experience Copenhagen 2021 ! As a prelude to the giant event next year, we’ve invited the Directors for human rights, culture and sports to talk about their plans. Language : Danish and English.

Participants : Ayhan Can (Director of Sports, Copenhagen 2021), Aron LeFevre (Director of Human Rights, Copenhagen 2021) and Sasha Carlson (Coordinator of Culture, Copenhagen 2021) Location : Tent 2 : Marsha P. Johnson & Sylvia Rivera

18:00–19:00 FAT AND QUEER – SOLIDARITY AGAINST FAT PHOBIA We want to talk about one of the blind spots in the rainbow solidarity, obesity.

Body shaming is alive and well in the Danish LGBTI+ community and life as a double minority means more challenges. The fight against fat phobia is a lot like the fight against homophobia and transphobia, so how do we create a common solidarity ? What structural challenges are you faced with as a fat LGBTI+ person ? How can we support each other and create safety and inclusion for fat people ? Language : Danish.

Participants : Katarzyna Malinowska, Alicja Sienkiewicz, Nina Matusik, Dawid Wojtyczka and Julia Maciocha Location : Tent 2 : Marsha P. Johnson & Sylvia Rivera

19:30–20:30 ERASURE OF QUEERS WITH DISABILITIES The LGBTI+ community prides itself by being open and accessible for all, but the reality is that when it comes to LGBTI+ people with disabilities, we are often overlooked. Descriptions of events rarely include information about venue accessibility, and if it they do, it’s often because people with crip experiences have pointed it out. It is not actively considered how to avoid reproducing ableist structures that make it unsafe for queers with disabilities to join. Language : English.

Participants : TBA Location : Tent 1 : David Kato

20:00–21:30 DRAG FOR BEGINNERS

Participants : TBA

Location : Tent 4 : FannyAnn Eddy

In this presentation, Camilla Tved, Amalie Otkjær and Charlie Hedman from 'Huset for Køn, Krop & Seksualitet' explore what the ‘Saferspace’ conversation package for trans and nonbinary people contains, and why it is important that we have an offer for conversations outside of 'Center for Kønsidentitet'.
