HeartCore #15 NUANCER
In this edition of HeartCore, we’re curious about nuances – the things that lie in the spaces between binary boxes and how we can move through them. You can also read the full programme for Winter Pride Week 2024, which takes place from 19-24 February in Huset-KBH!
It is with great sadness that we announce that this edition of HeartCore will be the last.

“But I’m a Good Queer…!”
By Ben Hansen-Hicks (He/Him) Most of us have experienced it: Happily chatting with a fellow LGBTI+ person when suddenly we say something that causes immediate side-eye. All this good queer, bad queer debate in our community is just a bit dull, isn’t it? Point-scoring in our diverse melting pot; to keep a running tally, or
