There\u2019s a lot of power in that. For example, ever since I joined, I can tell there has always been a very clear topic we\u2019re targeting throughout the entire festival, and it feels amazing being able to tell people \u201dlisten, this matters and we\u2019re here to show why\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is one (or two) remarkable thing(s) that has\/have happened at Ljubljana Pride?\u00a0<\/strong>The most remarkable thing would be 2018\u2019s Ljubljana Pride parade, in which we gathered between 2500 to 3000 people. This is quite an achievement for us, because not only is Slovenia is a very small country, as we also often face reproach and criticism from within the LGBTIQ+ community for having such a political and activist-like Pride festival and parade. Despite these challenges, and with a lot of our own sweat and work, not only did we managed to pull off a festival in which we didn\u2019t compromise our political message, on top of that we also managed to make the biggest Pride parade in Slovenia so far!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you do when you are not organizing Ljubljana Pride?\u00a0<\/strong>When I\u2019m not organising Pride, I\u2019m working \u2013 I have two part time jobs, and do Pride as volunteer on my scarce free time. I feel that I work to have the possibility to dedicate myself to what is really my passion: LGBTIQ+ and feminist activism, hence, Pride.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you like to do in your free time?\u00a0<\/strong>On my free time, besides Pride, I am also part of a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/FPZ.Zborke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">feminist choir<\/a> and one queer-feminist collective (<a href=\"http:\/\/rdecezore.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rde\u010de Zore<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is there something you would like to say to the rest of the LGBT+ community?\u00a0<\/strong>It\u2019s time we work together, and that we work through\/despite our differences. It\u2019s important to stay true to our political goals, but we need to be able to compromise and be able to come together as a community and do the work that needs to be done: educate, raise awareness, organise &amp; mobilise, etc. Our egos cannot stay in the way of our work. But also \u2013 keep Pride political, do not forget the legacy of Stonewall, honour those who enabled us to be fighting out and proudly. Lastly: it\u2019s not that Pride is about love, Pride is about basic human rights being respected. When we engage in affirmations such as \u201dlove is love\u201d we\u2019re actually giving power to the mainstream society to respect us out of sympathy, not out of the strong belief that everyone should have the same rights. I feel that always needs to be said.<\/p>\n<p>For more see here:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/transnational-queer-underground.net\/ljubljana-pride\/\">https:\/\/transnational-queer-underground.net\/ljubljana-pride\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What\u2019s your name and age?\u00a0My name is Jessica Lima, and I\u2019m 25.
