Queer Beograd

Teaser Image: 

QueerBeograd is a group of eight people who decided to stand against the violence:

Because first attempt of organizing Pride Parade in Belgrade in 2001. was blocked by large group of violent homophobic hooligans.
Because this violence is a result of politics of war, clericalism, nationalism, militarism and machismo that has been mainstream politics in Serbia during last 15 years.
Because second attempt to make LGBT community and politics visible on streets of Belgrade in 2004. had to be canceled coz organizers again couldn’t guarantee for participants safety.

Charlie Little (Blog)

Location

United Kingdom

Charlie is lots of things- a lesbian, radical feminist, anarchist, working class (origin) and a northerner…

Charlie is not queer, a femme, a ‘woman’, an indiscriminate man hater (I just don’t like men who are sexist which means most of them), a student, a socialist, pro-censorship or anti-censorship nor do I live anywhere near London.
