Pride remains a protest, an act of resistance, a means of visibility and affirmation of diversity, and a strategy for building community solidarity and movements that advocate for rigts for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and queer (LGBTIQ) people. Pride and LGBTIQ events have evolved in cogent response to rising repression and anti-LGBTIQ rhetoric, as well as a means for inclusion for underrepresented LGBTIQ groups.
"Show Up With No Shame": Pride Around the World in 2024 provides a global snapshot of what Pride looks like and means in different countries. Like our 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 Pride Around the World reports, this report focuses primarily on events that activists identified as “Pride” but also includes other public-facing, open, and visible events that have the purpose of affirming the existence of LGBTIQ people, demanding recognition and protection of our rights, and celebrating progress to date. It centers around seven in-depth case studies: Japan, Brazil, Côte d'Ivoire, Canada, Global Black Pride, refugee and migrant inclusion in Sweden, and the inclusion of people with disabilities at Pride around the world. The report also provides a snapshot what political solidarity looks like at Prides in 2024. In addition, we share a personal account of the complexities of engaging with Pride in Europe from the perspective of an activist living in North Africa.
