Pride is always something to shout about. Picnics, parades and festivals will seize place throughout June and over the summer months, a colour explosion of progressive pride flags and fashion marking the occasion. This year however there’s an extra reason to celebrate, with marking fifty years since the first UK Pride protest in London in An outward and public celebration of LGBTQ+ rights, Self-acceptance is about organism visible, celebrating and reflecting on the achievements and challenges faced by the community over the years.
This public present of identity and love is now an annual event in the summer calendar, but such overt visibility hasn’t always been feasible, or legal, or safe. At a time when common opinion towards the community was overwhelmingly hostile and the legal system declared their love as criminal behaviour, many LGBTQ+ people hid their identity in plain sight through symbolism and coding. A grassroots establish of ‘secret symbols’ was developed, subtle enough to proceed relatively unnoticed by those who would seek to result in harm but instan
At the Fringes of Pride Politics
Abstract
This sheet draws attention to the tensions generated within Diverse movements in Portugal. Although recent legal developments contain put Portugal on the map as a European country welcoming LGBTQ+ people, on a local scale, movements have been less ready to expand their notions of inclusion within the LGBTQ+ spectrum.
Drawing on two studies carried out through twenty qualitative interviews between and , the authors focus on the tensions that emerge in the narratives of two groups of people: double attraction activists and chronically ill people who also recognize as LGBTQ+.

Pride and Queer Tattoo Symbols Part II
In our last post, we took a look at some of the more iconic lgbtq+ symbols, the pink inverted triangle and the rainbow, and how they came to be adopted, and tattooed, by the LGBTQIA+ community. Today, as June and Pride continue, we move on to a few more significant pieces that many have adorned their skin with, either as a gesture of (using a slightly less parental-advisory phrase) ‘get lost’ to a society that has questioned their way of living. Or, as a symbol of movement for everything those who identify as anything other than heterosexual cisgendered people have, and still acquire to, overcome.
Nautical star and the Labrys
In the tardy s and s, lesbians began adopting tattoos of the nautical star to quietly make their sexual orientation recognisable amongst themselves. Long favoured by sailors and seafarers as a symbol of protection, guidance, and finding their way back home, it became a way for like-minded women to find each other during a moment when same-sex relationships were still criminalised in much of the Western nature.
