The 2024 edition of the BRISPO lecture series: Rémy Bonny (Forbidden Colours non-profit association, Belgium), Scapegoating the LGBTQI+ community in international anti-democratic movements [lecture is organised in collaboration with WE.Konnekt, will not take place on the VUB campus, the exact location will be announced later]
Rémy Bonny is the director of Forbidden Colours. He is an expert on how ultraconservative and antidemocratic regimes use their fight against human rights for the LGBTIQ+ communities in their international relations. He investigated and exposed various anti-LGBTIQ+ initiatives of Russia, Hungary, and other antidemocratic governments. In 2021, Bonny was the first international activist to uncover the news about the Hungarian anti-LGBTIQ+ law - a copy of the Russian anti-LGBTIQ+ propaganda law from 2013. Later, Forbidden Colours' work against this law led to the largest lawsuit in the history of the EU.
