Vladi Luxuria (she/her) is an actor and campaigner and was the first openly trans member of parliament in Europe, when she was elected in Italy in 2006. She was an organiser of the first Pride in Rome in 1994 and her acting credits stretch back to 1991.  A funny but searingly honest speaker. during her Pride: Out Loud! lecture Vladi will talk about her experiences and how the worsening situation for LGBTQIA+ people in Italy should be a warning for us all. Vladi will be welcomed to the stage by our host, and she will then deliver her lecture of around 45 minutes. After an interval, the host will join her on stage for a 'fireside chat, to explore some of the themes from her lecture, and to invite questions from the audience.Event program and information    19.00 Doors open   19.30 Pride: Out Loud! lecture   20.15 Interval   20.45 Pride: Out Loud! in conversation   21.30 End of event  Please note, the event will be in English.About Pride: Out Loud! When brave LGBTQIA+ people stood up to discrimination and police violence at the Stonewall Inn, New York, in June 1969, it led to the foundation of the Pride movement and today to June being recognised internationally as ‘Pride month’. But with Copenhagen Pride happening in August, we are often asked why there are no events to mark ‘Pride month’ in June. And so this year we are doing something about it, creating a program of events with inspirational speakers from the global LGBTQIA+ community. It’s Pride: Out Loud! In addition to this public event, the speakers will attend private meetings with community organisation, politicians, diplomats and others. Copenhagen Pride is proud to work with Scandic Hotels, a presenting partner for Pride: Out Loud!
