IGLTA stands united with the LGBTQ+ community for this year’s Pride celebrations as a time of both celebration and period of remembrance of the important history that began on Christopher Street Liberation Day, 28 June 1970 – when a revolution was sparked for equality. Ever since, parades and festivals have honored each individual's right to express their true selves regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. In the face of discrimination Pride festivals provide a united front for the diverse LGBTQ+ community around the world and show pride existing without prejudice.
