Scheltema Pride: Bamber Delver, Amsterdam Queer Capital of the World

Description

Join us on Wednesday 5 August at 17:00 at Scheltema, during WorldPride, for a talk by Bamber Delver, editor-in-chief of the Gaykrant, about his new book: Amsterdam, Queer Capital of the World!

Amsterdam, Queer Capital of the World is a compelling and timely book about freedom, visibility, history and the future. The book opens with Mayor Femke Halsema: ‘Amsterdam is and remains a place known both inside and outside the Netherlands as a city where you can be yourself in freedom and safety.’
For years Amsterdam was known as the ‘gay capital’. Is that still the case today?
