An Edinburgh-based tour company is making a significant shift this June by replacing its popular Harry Potter-themed walking tours with LGBTQ+ history tours in observance of Pride Month
Honestly, as a queer person, I don’t know if I’d be excited for a queer tour. There’s enough queer oppression day to day. I don’t know if I’d be excited to hear about it on vacation too. I’m a firm believer in everything being political, but I think it’s ok and probably good to take a vacation from the news every once in a while. I don’t tour slave plantations when I go to Disney despite knowing FL was a slave state (I don’t go to Disney or FL anymore). I feel like it’s ok just to want to be for a bit.
Good on you for going though. Glad to hear it was fun!
I get what you’re saying, and definitely to each their own.
In this case I felt like it was people trying to spotlight queer history rather than the regular hetero stories we see all around us every day, and I think that is definitely meaningful.
Same, same, but different. When I was in Cambodia I skipped the killing fields tours my friends went on. I was on holiday not looking for a grim tour of historical atrocities.
