A magazine about pride - Chasing the Rainbow

Every year, millions of Europeans take part in dozens of Prides held in every corner of the continent. This impressive mass of queers and allies rallies behind one message: we exist, we are one, we want to be seen.

And yet each individual participant is drawn to these colourful parades for different, but very personal reasons. Some seek to connect, others to make their voices heard. Some want to celebrate community, others to engage in open political struggle. More often it is a combination of all of these.

Chasing the Rainbow is an attempt to give a place to all those voices and ideas and explore the state of Pride.

Chasing the Rainbow is a magazine about Pride that explores the LGBTQ+ community across Europe. The project investigates the state of Pride through a printed magazine with a thematic approach and online stories during Pride season.

The first issue of the magazine is out now!

#1 Pride is protest

Each pride is rooted in the here and now, as a party and a manifestation. But pride is — historically — first and foremost a protest. In this issue we explore the possible meanings of that protest.
