On Monday August 1st, 2011, Apmel Goossons neighbor in real life will raise his Pride flag and keep it flying for a week, which is his tradition since many years during Stockholm Pride.
If you wish to read more about Stockholm Pride and see the program for this year, go to this website.
"This summer Stockholm Pride invites you to a grand celebration of Human Rights and Equality.
We take this opportunity to celebrate the progress that the LGTB-movement has already made. We are, as we should be, proud of these victories, but we cannot be satisfied with them. We still have a long way to go towards an open society and an open world. Therefore Stockholm Pride will have “Openness” as the theme for the 2011 festival.
Openness, for us, describes how well a society can provide for the needs of all its members. This includes both legislation and the ability to tend to all the different needs that we have depending on our own personal life situation, as well as the un-written rules that exists in every society."
The Pride celebration in Stockholm is the largest in Scandinavia.
Sometime one has a bit of luck with neighbours.
