Sights from Pride Afrique, 2023🏳️‍🌈 LGBTQIA+ Africans from all regions celebrated the Power of Pride at the First in-person Continental Pride in Africa! Over 400 people in one space! We made history! We found healing! We redefined what Pride means to us! #prideafrique2023

I have gotten so much hate today for merely pointing out the facts around Khelif situation. She is not Trans. Stop saying she was in order to push you anti woke anti trans agendas. Khelif is a female with genetic abnormalities. The people who are attacking her are sick in the head or doing it for engagement. Some situations just don’t have a right answer. Stop promoting hate and start understanding the nuances of every situation.

📣 Protest Alert ‼️ We’ve spoken with our Queer Ghanaian Siblings and they want to make noise and place some pressure.
