Queer Easter is the biggest annual LGBTQI socialist youth event in Europe.  This year marks the 20th anniversary of Queer Easter and will bring together over 100 young people to explore all aspects of sexuality and gender experience and theory. For this special occasion we will take a look back at what 20 years of fighting for socialism with queer glasses has brought along, as well as reflecting on what is going on right now in the world to be able to look forward in international solidarity on how we can keep fighting to bring a socialist world about.
