LGBTIQ+ communities from around the globe are coming together this weekend to celebrate Global Pride with a massive online event.
Global Pride was launched by a coalition of over 1,500 international Pride organisations and networks, and this year’s marathon 24-hour celebrations are shaping up to be something spectacular.
Hosted by Todrick Hall, the event features entertainers, community leaders and politicians from all corners of the Earth, including Pride WA.
At the announcement of Global Pride, Kristine Garina, President of European Pride Organisation Association, says every Pride organiser in the world has a story of someone whose life was changed by Pride.
“With so many Prides being cancelled or postponed, as organisers we felt we had a responsibility to come together and deliver Pride online. We’re tremendously excited for the potential for Global Pride to bring people together in the biggest Pride there has ever been,” Garina said.
Pabllo Vittar, Ava Max, Olivia Newton John, Deborah Cox, Thelma Houston The Chicks (formerly The Dixie Chicks), Courtney Act, Steve Grand and have been revealed as just some of the international stars who’ll be showing their Pride online.
Joining these musical sensations will be Carlos Alvarado Quesada – President of Costa Rica – the latest nation to enact marriage equality, Prime Ministers Erna Solberg and Xavier Bettel of Norway and Luxembourg respectively, and the world’s only openly gay prince, Manvendra Singh Gohil of India.
Global Pride will be held on Sunday 27th June. For more information, head to globalpride2020.org
