Abstract Despite its beginnings in 1990 as a protest march with an avowedly political aim of sexual emancipation for LGBTI people, Johannesburg Pride may have lost that political aim. The disruption of Johannesburg Pride in October 2012 by a group of black lesbians reveals the complex intersection of race, class, and gender tensions within the LGBTI movement in South Africa, which is a reflection of broader politics in the country. The theory of intersectionality is used as an analytical tool to unpack the complex web of intersecting realities which came together in an explosive moment at the Johannesburg Pride parade. This briefing points to a need for a decolonised queer movement and a queer postcolonial reading of post-apartheid South Africa. | ||
