Bi People 2: Why did Pride begin?
How the bisexual 鈥渕other of pride鈥� Brenda Howard turned riots at the Stonewall Inn in 1969 into a queer revolution.
Police officers are locked in a pub in New York. People attempt to set the building on fire. And a riot begins. It spreads across the city and lasts for a full three days. But what triggered the riots? And how did it lead to the Pride marches we see all over the world today?
In celebration of Pride Month Dr Julia Shaw and Sofie Hagen explore the history, science and culture of bisexuality.
In this episode, Julia and Sofie discuss the origins of Pride marches, how they make their own sexual identities seen, and the history of bisexual symbols.
