A coalition of African LGBTQI+ activists, continental grassroots organisations, and allies are preparing for the second Pride Afrique pan-African virtual Pride. Inaugurated last year during the pandemic lockdown, Pride Afrique returns once again as a virtual platform to celebrate and uplift LGBTQI+ persons and groups across the African continent and the diaspora. “The event will be centred on diverse voices, actions, and stories of queer Africans.
It aims at inspiring and informing LGBTQI+ African communities and allies that gender and sexual identities are never a barrier to what each queer African can achieve,” said Vasilis Onwuaduegbo, one of the co-producers of Pride Afrique 2021.
