BBC World Service - Newshour, Has LGBTQ+ Pride lost its way?

A veteran gay rights activist explains why he thinks some Pride events have lost focus

With over a million people expected to be in London for this year's LGBTQ+ Pride parade, gay rights activists Peter Tatchell and Bisi Alimi discuss whether some Pride events have become too regimented and commercialised. 

Also in the programme: Thousands march to a police station in Myanmar demanding a quick resolution to a child rape case that has provoked nationwide anger, and is this year's Women's World Cup the best ever?
