Editors’ letter

It’s Pride Month! A time to celebrate your authentic self and remember that there is a community of fearless people who fought battles that allow the freedoms experienced today.

It is a month of colour, education, fun and remembrance.

However, Pride Month in South Africa has been difficult. And the unfortunate part is what has been happening is not exclusive to June.

Queer peope across the country are being brutally killed simply for being themselves.

In this edition, we pay tribute to those who have been killed. We have put together a guide on how to protect yourself when needed. We also look at the meaning of Pride and that beautiful flag filled with rich history.

With ballroom culture making waves within the community and outside, we look at this art form along with Voguing.

It’s a fabulous read!
