🏳️‍🌈🌛Dear all, as the 6th full moon slowly disconnects from my lovers date of death, the missing does the opposite. She sticks to anything that reminds; a full moon, the 24th, an old photo, a recurring festival.

In this photo, Afina and I were together one year ago, at Superflirt 2023 (Amsterdam's Q***r Festival).
We were both feeling anxtious and tense, in a place between chemos and the run-up to the risky bone marrow transplant. Hyper aware that this could well be the last festival.

Still, we enjoyed that day; loved, danced, kissed, and hoped everything would work out for the best.
And, Afina was surrounded by friends, right there on the stage of Lesbique.

Good did not come. But it was good, that day.
Those memories I take with me today, again dancing at Superflirt, Afina in my and our hearts.

I love you, always forever💞.

Love = love, & love and love,

Sanne💙💋.

How Pride Can Be Prouder. 1/1

Dear q***r community, allies, and - hopefully - future allies.
Pride has shown many faces this year. It took me a while to wrap my head around Amsterdam Pride 2024. A full week. It was one of those theme park experiences full of highlights and not-so-highlights.

The Homomonument showed me what it can feel like; having the space to be yourself and celebrating it in complete freedom and joy.
Q***r Amsterdam showed me that the struggle to get there is not an easy one and "which battles to choose along the way" and how not to fall apart in parts during this struggle. I admire the various organizations, which stand for equal goals, even if achieving them and fighting for them runs through different paths.***rAmsterdam you are fantastic, important, necessary, heroes. I hope you will keep on getting all the support to follow through with your grand work for our community. Thank you for what you mean and do for me and many of us.

Pride Amsterdam showed me how necessary it is that our Pride celebration remains a celebration of awareness, against stagnation, against 'finish point' thinking. A celebration remains of staying active in our community and above all staying aware and active of those outside. Allies and those who think they are allies. Commit, make room for difference, become mindful of your superpower, and use it for good, to make room for everyone to belong.

The day of the Canal Parade, the national Pride date, and celebration. The day that attracts more people to Amsterdam than Kingsday does.

On this day I no longer expected to run into the old dynamics, the dynamics that became the why of the date shift of the Pride celebrations .
People who antagonized, pushed, and provoked arguments, took space instead of giving it. Engaged in nasty discussions, insulted touches, asked impertinent questions, and were aggressive. All this happened in our places, at our women's bars and street parties. I simply don't want that.
Had all this happened on the Amstelveld - where mostly straight people celebrate Pride every year - we could have walked around it with a bow. But this year..

💖Dear community, it has been three full moons since I lost my lover, my partner, and my best friend. 🌚🌚🌚

Overhere, I share a lot about my q***r life, because I like it ánd because I think visibility is important.
I also would like to share with you some of my memories of Afina. I don't know exactly how, but it will find its way. Or not.
But with this being said, I am happy to share with you my brand new smiley tattoo. Which Afina wore on her left shoulder. And I, now on my right shoulder. This way we can still walk through life shoulder to shoulder. Kind of 🥰.

I do miss her every day. In the morning, afternoon, evening, and night. I didn't expect that a smiley face on my own shoulder could cheer me up so much.
Now, when I look in the mirror, I suddenly see two faces! 🙂🙂
It's the little things, it truly is.

All the love,

Sanne.💋
Your q***r tour guide and friend from Amsterdam.

Ps. Lieke thank you so much for making this happen so quickly.

Antiek Tattoo, you are the best.

💖🎶We had joy we had fun, we were q***ring in the sun.🎶🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Never, never ever do I get used to such flattering reviews. But these reviews are the feedback for me as a q***r tourguide. 'Am I still doing it from the source I've ever started with? Am I still truly connecting?' Luckely, I am, because I still get a tiny bit nervous before every single tour. And I think in these spaces, where there is mutual vulnerabilty, q***r connectivity can perform its magic.✨

I wish I could review right back at ya! As the experience is absolutely interrelational.🥰

🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈Showing people the q***r history of Amsterdam is what I made into my expertise. Understanding who, what and why we celebrate Pride is so important to me.

All these ingredients together make LGBTOUR AMSTERDAM, your q***r city experience.

Did you know that Amsterdam already had q***r bars in the 1920s?
But that they needed their own secret alarm systems to be safe from police checks.
You'll find out all about it on LGBTOUR's Q***r City Tour.

I can give away in advance that you can still admire the alarm system in the bar today, if you know where it is👀🕵️‍♀️.

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️✨Dear unicorns, q***rs and allies, today is a good day. A day of a new generation who like me, finds 'making space for differences' highly important.
I'm invited to be part of a panel of a European education project 'How to internationalize Equality & Diversity'.
And I'm highly looking forward to answer all the question these curious and eager to learn kids are going to ask me.
Ps. We've already met at the beginning of this project when they joined my LGBTOUR, the Q***r City Tour, right through the old historic and gay heart of Amsterdam.

Have a lovely day!

😍✨Fangirling Bet van Beeren ✨😍

'Van Beeren came out openly about her sexuality, and implemented that in her café. She did not allow kissing or other 'coziness', in view of the strict moral laws, but everyone was welcome in Café 't Mandje, regardless of orientation, class or profession. As a result, the café featured sailors as well as prostitutes, and both gay and straight people.'*

🦄🦄🦄

'Van Beeren kwam open uit voor haar seksualiteit, en voerde dat door in haar café. Ze stond geen zoenen of ander ‘klef gedoe’ toe, met oog op de strenge zedenwetten, maar iedereen was welkom in Café 't Mandje, ongeacht geaardheid, klasse of beroep. Daardoor waren er in het café zowel zeelui, als hoeren, en zowel homo's als hetero's te vinden.'*
