He walked out of prison and refused to stay quiet.

Simon and Coley and the others built GLOW. Black and white, gay and lesbian together.

Looking fierce for the march. Johannesburg Pride. Visibility and freedom.

In 1990, they took to the streets of Johannesburg for the first Pride on African soil. Singing, dancing, defiant.

Years later, the new constitution would say what they already knew. No one should be punished for who they love.

From the neon nights and the blue lights, we were never going back.

We are here. We are proud. Black and white. Human rights for all. No more hate.

This FanVue version is the FULL FINALE — the march + the constitution scene + the final "We Are Here" moment.

Thank you for watching this story with me. This one was for them. 🏳️‍🌈
