On November 25th 2025, Suriname celebrated 50 years of independence. To mark this milestone, the Anton de Kom Chair is organizing a series of film evenings featuring classic films and documentaries, followed by discussions on representation and public perceptions. During this evening, we will explore the current state of LGBTQ+ acceptance in Surinamese, Antillean, and Dutch society. The film will be screened in Dutch with English subtitels. In 1992, filmmaker Andre Reeder, in collaboration with the COC and with support from Strange Fruit, produced the landmark documentary “Glad to Be Gay, Right?” In the film, Sook Ahn, Zarine, Ivan, Klaas, and Angelique candidly share their coming-out stories, their relationships with their parents, their discovery of their sexuality and their perspectives on love and relationships. The documentary also provides educational information and was widely used throughout the Netherlands as an educational resource. It was broadcast on Australian television in 1992 and was recently screened at a major LGBTQ+ event in London in 2024. Moderator: Nicchelle Buyne (spoken word artist and poet) Speakers: – Andre Reeder: Director – Patrick Liesdek: Author of Love: A History of Hate in Suriname – Janice Tjon Sien Kie: Activist and advocate for marriage equality in Curaçao – Anne Krul: Visual artist, writer, poet and queer activist Tickets for the screening can be purchased via the link in our bio. To register for the diepe taki discussion, please email: adek.fgw@vu.nl
