Is it Time for Gay Pride Events to Go Away? - Josh Szeps (Video)

In this 8 April 2024 video on Modern Wisdom, the host Chris Williamson sits down with Josh Szeps, a broadcaster, podcast host and a journalist.

What are the things you can’t criticise? What about Gay Pride in Australia? What if you’re a gay man? What about criticising the cringe of the anti-woke Right? Everyone is getting the heat today, including Josh’s ex-employer the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

Expect to learn what the difference is between getting cancelled by the left and right, why we feel the need to forensically pick through public figures’ lives, why so many people believe the world is ruined, the problem with the anti-anti woke, what JK Rowling has been up to, what happened to the indigenous Australian people apology trend and more.
