WorldPrideis a series of internationalLGBT prideevents coordinated byInterPride;they are hosted in conjunction with local LGBT pride festivals, with host cities selected via bids voted on during InterPride's annual general meetings. Its core events include opening and closing ceremonies, apride parade(which may either be the host city's existing pride parade, or a bespoke event organized specifically for WorldPride), and an LGBT human rights conference.[2]

The inaugural WorldPride was held in Rome in 2000.[3][4][5][6]In 2019, it was estimated thatSydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras—host of WorldPride 2023—would have a 25–40% increase in attendance over normal years, and contribute overAU$664 million to the local economy.[7][2]Due to its scale and the bidding process, WorldPride was colloquially referred to as "the gayOlympics"by Australian media outlets.[7][2]

WorldPride Rome 2000

[edit]

At the 16th annual conference of InterPride, held in October 1997 inNew York City,InterPride's membership voted to establish the "WorldPride" title and awarded it to the city ofRome, Italy,during July 1 to July 9, 2000. The event was put on by the Italian gay rights group Mario Mieli along with InterPride.

Rome officials had promised to put up US$200,000 for the event, however bowing to ferocious opposition from the Vatican and conservative politicians, Rome's leftist mayor,Francesco Rutelli,on May 30, 2000 withdrew logistical and monetary support. Hours after his announcement, Rutelli mostly reversed himself in response to harsh criticism from the left. He restored the funding and promised to help with permits, but declined to back down on a demand that organizers remove the city logo from promotional materials. The event was staunchly opposed byPope John Paul IIand seen as an infringement on the numerous Catholic pilgrims visiting Rome for theCatholic Church'sGreat Jubilee.[8]Pope John Paul II addressed crowds inSt. Peter's Squareduring WorldPride 2000 stating, in regards to the event, that it was an "offence to the Christian values of a city that is so dear to the hearts of Catholics across the world."[9]

The organisers claimed 250,000 people joined in the march to the Colosseum and the Circus Maximus, two of Rome's most famous ancient sites. It was one of the biggest crowds to gather in Rome for decades.[10]Among the scheduled events were conferences, a fashion show, a large parade, a leather dance, and a concert featuringGloria Gaynor,The Village People,RuPaul,andGeri Halliwell.

WorldPride Jerusalem 2006

The 22nd annual conference of InterPride, held in October 2003 inMontreal,Quebec, Canada, with over 150 delegates from 51 cities from around the world in attendance, voted to accept the bid of theJerusalem Open Houseto host WorldPride 2006 in the Holy City.[11]

The first attempt to hold WorldPride in Jerusalem was in 2005, however it was postponed until 2006 because of tensions arising from Israel's withdrawal from the Gaza Strip. It was called “Love Without Borders” as a nod to the many barriers within Israel, and for gays and lesbians in other ways. World Pride was a key project of Jerusalem's Open House, the city's gay community centre.[12]

After Jerusalem was selected as the WorldPride 2006 City, the city ofTel Avivannounced that it was cancelling its own annualPride Weekendin 2006 to make sure that more Israelis attended the main march. As WorldPride started in 2006, the main parade was scheduled for August 6, but was strongly opposed by Israeli religious Orthodox Jews, Muslims and Christian leaders from the outset. However, due to the2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict,Jerusalem's government cancelled the march, saying there were not enough soldiers to protect marchers. A week of events took place as scheduled and included five conferences, a film festival, exhibitions, and literary and political events.[13]The parade was cancelled but the Jerusalem Open House announced that it would hold a parade on November 10 after reaching an agreement with the police and the municipality.[14]

WorldPride London 2012

The 27th annual conference of InterPride, held in October 2008 inVancouver,Canada, voted for the bid from Pride London, overStockholm Pride,[15]to host WorldPride 2012 in the capital of the United Kingdom just ahead of theLondon OlympicandParalympic Gamesand during the anticipated year-long celebrations of QueenElizabeth II'sDiamond Jubilee.Pride London planned a parade with floats, a large performance area inTrafalgar Squarewith street parties in Golden Square andSoho.

However, London's World Pride event was significantly "scaled back" at an emergency all-agencies meeting on June 27, 2012, nine days before the event was due to take place and after the festival fortnight had started. Pride London organisers had failed to secure the funds necessary for contractors of key areas of the work, and they announced that all activities were being cut or cancelled. TheLondon Evening Standardreported that four contractors from the previous year's Pride event were owed £65,000 in unpaid debts, though this has been denied by Pride London.[16]Consequently, the entertainment and stages were all cut, and licence applications for street parties in Soho withdrawn. Instead, the event plans included a Pride Walk (without floats or vehicles), and a scaled-back rally in Trafalgar Square.[17]On July 5, theMetropolitan Policeissued a licence regulations notice to all venues in Soho, reminding them that Pride London had no licence for street events in the Soho area, and therefore venues should treat WorldPride as "any normal day".[18]

Peter Tatchelland former Pride London Associate Director James-J Walsh in an article forPinkNewscriticised the management of Pride London's management of World Pride. Tatchell said "Whatever the rights and wrongs, this scaling down of WorldPride is a huge embarrassment for London and for our LGBT community. We promised LGBT people world-wide a fabulous, spectacular event. It now looks like WorldPride in London will go down in history as a damp squib. We're not only letting down LGBT people in Britain, we're also betraying the trust and confidence of LGBT people world-wide. This is an absolute disaster." Walsh added "This will mar the work of Pride London for years to come. Pride London has lost the focus of being an LGBT campaigning organisation, instead focusing on partying rather than politics, which is what the community needs when legislation around equal marriage and LGBT rights are still to be won both in the UK and around the world."[19]

Following community pressure, Pride London, a registered charity since 2004, withdrew from organising future Pride events in London. In December 2012 the Mayor of London's Office awarded the contract to Pride in London.

Pride Toronto, in partnership with the city's tourism agency, Tourism Toronto, submitted a bid to host WorldPride 2014 inToronto,Ontario,Canadafrom June 20 to June 29, 2014. The 28th annual conference of InterPride, held in October 2009 inSt. Petersburg, Florida,United States, voted to accept the bid of Pride Toronto to host WorldPride 2014 for the first time in North America. In the first round of voting Toronto won 77 votes to Stockholm's 61. In the second round of votingStockholmwas eliminated and Toronto won 78% of the vote, fulfilling the 2/3 majority needed to finalize the selection process.[20]

WorldPride 2014 festivities included an opening ceremony atNathan Phillips Squarefeaturing concert performances byMelissa Etheridge,Deborah Cox,Steve GrandandTom Robinson,[21]an international human rights conference whose attendees includedJóhanna Sigurðardóttir,Frank MugishaandEdie Windsor[22]amongst 2,400 attendees and 195 presenters from around the world,[23]a gala and awards event, a variety of networking and social events includingCanada DayandAmerican Independence Daycelebrations and an exhibition commemorating the 45th anniversary of theStonewall Riots.Three marches occurred over the last three days of the ten-day celebration: the Trans march, the Dyke march, and the WorldPride Parade. Of these marches, the Trans and Dyke marches were more political,[24][25]while the WorldPride Parade was more celebratory and included floats, musical acts, and dancers.[26]All three marches were the longest of their kind in Canadian history.[24][25][27]Over 12,000 people registered to march in the WorldPride parade and over 280 floats took part in the march. The parade lasted over five hours, marking it as one of the longest parades in Toronto's history.[28]The parade's grand marshal wasBrent Hawkes,the pastor of theMetropolitan Community Church of Toronto,[29]andGeorgianactivist Anna Rekhviashvili served as international grand marshal.[30]

There were many free public stages throughout Toronto'sChurch and Wellesleyneighbourhood, featuring drag queen and king shows, burlesque shows, cultural performances, and musical acts includingCarly Rae Jepsen,Peaches,Against Me!,Hercules and Love Affair,Chely Wright,Pansy Division,Lydia Lunch,The Nylons,k.d. lang,Carole Pope,Parachute Club,[31]Dragonette[26]andThe Cliks.[32]PFLAGsponsored aPride flag,mounted on a flagpole atop the Churchmouse and Firkin pub, which automatically raised or lowered itself based on the volume of positive or negative commentary about LGBT issues onTwitter,and promoted the hashtag #raisethepride to attendees wishing to help raise the flag.[33]

The event's slogan was "Rise Up".[31]Parachute Club, whose 1983 single "Rise Up"has long been considered a Canadian gay anthem, released a contemporary remix of the song a week before the festivities.[31]

The closing ceremony, held atYonge-Dundas Squarefollowing the parade, featured performances byTegan and Sara,Robin S,CeCe Peniston,Rich Aucoin,God-Des and SheandHunter Valentine.[34]

When estimating the potential economic impact of WorldPride for Toronto, Pride Toronto officials said that Pride Week 2009 drew an estimated one million people to Toronto and contributedC$136 million to the city's economy, and stated that they expected WorldPride's impact to be about five times bigger.[35]Results showed that WorldPride brought inC$791 million, nearly six times the 2009 figure.[36]

For the first time in history, WorldPride was held in two cities in two countries from 12 to 22 August 2021—Copenhagen,the capital ofDenmark,and theSwedishneighbouring cityMalmö,both in theØresund Region.[53]WorldPride was hosted by Copenhagen Pride, with Malmö Pride as a partner. The cities are a twenty/thirty-minute commute apart.[53]

WorldPride was combined withEuroGamesand other activities held simultaneously in that same area, with the event branded as 'Copenhagen 2021'.[54]The WorldPride event will coincide with two LGBTQ anniversaries: seventy years since the world's first successfulgenital reconstructive surgeryin Denmark in 1951; and fifty years afterGay Liberation Front's Danish chapter was founded in 1971.[53]

TheCrown Princess of Denmarkwas patron of the event, making her the first ever royal to serve as patron for a major LGBTQ event.

Despite the ongoingCOVID-19 pandemichaving an impact on major events, organisers of Copenhagen 2021 said in early January 2021 that they are "continuing to plan for full delivery of all Copenhagen 2021 events taking into the account the guidance and recommendations" of government agencies.[55]Organisers have also said that they will not cancel or postpone the events, instead moving to a digital model if in-person events cannot be delivered.

At InterPride's 2019 meeting in Athens, WorldPride 2023 was awarded toSydney,which received 60% of the vote ahead of the other bid contendersMontreal(36%) andHouston(3%).[56][57]It would mark the 45th anniversary ofSydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras—Australia's largest and longest-running LGBT pride event, and five years sincesame-sex marriagewas recognized in Australia. It was the first WorldPride hosted in theSouthern HemisphereandAsia-Pacific.[58][56][57]The event planned to highlight the state of LGBT rights in the Asia-Pacific region, as well as the involvement ofFirst Nationsin Australia's LGBT community (which would be the subject of an event programme atCarriageworks).[2][59]

[edit]
Further information:Capital Pride (Washington, D.C.)

WorldPride 2025 is scheduled to be hosted byWashington, D.C.'sCapital Pride,which was awarded the event in November 2022.[62]

It was originally scheduled to be hosted byKaohsiung,Taiwan,marking the first WorldPride to be held in Asia. However, WorldPride and the Kaohsiung hosts came into conflict over the branding of the event, and withdrew in August 2022; WorldPride had requested that the event be named "WorldPride Kaohsiung" or "WorldPride Kaohsiung, Taiwan", despite having previously agreed to using "Taiwan" (which was chosen for alignment withTaiwan Prideand mark associated events being held across Taiwan). WorldPride stated that this was for consistency with its prior events (which have typically used the host city name), but reports indicated that WorldPride's changes may have been politically-motivated due toChina's political influence.[63][64][65]Taiwan'sMinistry of Foreign Affairsexpressed regret over the cancelation, claiming the outcome would harm Asia’s vast LGBTIQ+ community.[66][67]Taiwan Pride claimed "major discrepancies between our stances on the event’s naming, understandings of Taiwan’s culture and expectations of what a WorldPride event should look like".[68]
