In a context where far-right and anti-trans narratives are gaining traction across Belgium, Ghent\u2019s Queer March is a living example of how cities can resource their communities \u2013 not just symbolically, but materially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s also a great opportunity for cross-city alliances: Brussels-based collectives, artists, performers, activists and community groups can bring their work to Ghent, collaborate with local organisers, or simply show up and lend support. Think of it as a queer bridge between Ghent and Brussels \u2013 a chance to build networks that we\u2019ll need as the political climate toughens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re planning your 2026 queer calendar, don\u2019t just block the date for Brussels Pride. Save March as well \u2013 and make room for at least one weekend (or more) in Ghent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>KET Magazine is a community\u2011driven, non\u2011profit magazine run by volunteers based in Brussels.
