Pride Around the World

June 7, 2007 | Around the World, Cool Links

It’s Pride month! I’m going to be providing sign language interpreting services at Capital Pride on Sunday, but there’s a lot more going on around the world. Latvia’s gay pride celebration was held recently, but unfortunately Moscow does not have one - those attempting to plan one were arrested recently. Pride celebrations have already passed in Warsaw and São Paulo. I noticed that three Pride events around the world make reference to Christopher Street - Berlin’s Christopher Street Day, Zurich’s Christopher Street Day, and Christopher Street West in Los Angeles - but New York City’s Heritage of Pride festival doesn’t mention it at all! (There is a march to the vicinity, though.) If you want to learn more about Pride festivals around the world, check out InterPride - it’s fun to read about the different festivities!
