    UK BLACK PRIDE / THE QUEER EDINBURGH FRINGE 2024

    UK Black Pride took place on Sunday 11th August 2024, just a week after racist violence erupted on the UK's streets. Far right rioting, violent public racist attacks and inflammatory rhetoric have left some people of colour fearful or in their own homes. The UK's black and brown population have barely begun to process what has gone on. UK Black Pride this year was taking place in the middle of a global war on woke by the far right around the world. We begin to start the conversations about how safe we feel after these events and why UK Black Pride was such an important statement. Graeme Smith talk's the morning after the event to Asad Zafar a non binary queer activist, muslim and sexual health testing outreach worker in London. Graeme also talks to comedian and writer Holly Stars who is live from the Edinburgh fringe with news of their new drag comedy show "JUSTICE FOR HOLLY". and Kev McGrath is on hand with a check on the week's biggest LGBTQ news stories from around the world.

The Birmingham born queer rapper with a staunchly catholic mum mixes his Jamaican / British background with his queer perspective on pop culture. The result is a unique sound from unique guy. His new single "But you said we had a connection" brings us a different and more emotional side to the guy we thought we knew.

    WHAT DOES LABOUR'S LANDSLIDE MEAN FOR US?

    The Labour Party has won the UK general election with a landslide majority. Traditionally seen the party of LGBTQ+ progress, there has been little in the way of support through the general election campaign as they sought to avoid any difficult issues. So will the new occupant of number 10 be our friend? In this special episode that was broadcast on Virgin Radio Pride within 72 hours of the election result, we talk to Jamie Wareham from Queer AF. Also features Kevin McGrath with a roundup of other LGBTQ+ news stories from around the world that week. If you want to sign up for the Queer AF newsletter then head to https://www.wearequeeraf.com
