Mishel, Cherine, JeanPaul, Denise, Charlie, Isabel, Ricky and Rashida are part of the new generation of queer people in the city. Together with them, we look back at the Amsterdam of that time.

Rashida comes from the evangelical community and was able to talk about it with priests and pastors, but 'I was not thanked for it.'

Ricky finds it difficult because his homosexuality and culture are diametrically opposed. 'How do you find exactly who I am within both cultures? That's what really bothers me," he says. Cherine, who works as a youth worker and DJ, receives threats on social media because of her background. 'I played on the Moroccan boat two years ago, but when I think about it, I get pretty sad.'
The canal parade was supposed to be held in Amsterdam for the 25th time this year, but all festivities have been canceled due to corona. So no canal parade, no festivals and other parties. On Friday, AT5 looks back at Pride for the last time, it is about the safety and freedom of the queer community then and now. Part one about a chastity treaty, naked dancing and extravagant gays can be found here.
