Rad Pride saw its third iteration this year. Rad Pride was met with extremely heightened police violence, with participants and observers saying that the Montreal police force, the SPVM, used excessive force to interrupt the event. Tear gas was used indiscriminately and other members of the public who were not involved with Rad Pride, were affected by tear gas, including children.
Is pride a riot? Is it a party? Today on Metropolis, host Kalden Dhatsenpa asks this question and others to Celeste Trianon, a transfeminine jurist and activist who has been following these pride developments for years. What is the future of Pride?
