Mad Pride

Ever heard of Mad Pride? If not, this is your invitation. Before the hashtags, before the awareness ribbons, there was a bed pushed through the streets of Toronto. Survivors in hospital gowns. It wasn’t a plea for better treatment—it was a celebration. A refusal. A revolution. In this episode of Mad Tea, we bring you the story of Mad Pride—from its protest beginnings to its global evolution. It’s political, it’s poetic, and it’s proudly mad. We talk empty beds, Bastille Day protests, visionary artists, and the birth of a movement that said: we’re not broken—we’re building something new. This is more than a history lesson. It’s a celebration of mad culture, mad resistance, and mad futures. Whether you’ve been marching for years or just hearing about Mad Pride for the first time, this is the episode that brings it all together.
