Information given in this Annual Report is known to be correct at the time of production October 8th, 2009 2 © InterPride Inc. 2009 Annual Report Introduction When InterPride chose the International Theme for 2009 of “Your Rights Our Rights Human Rights” we didn’t predict how relevant it would be in the current world climate. Many of our brothers and sisters around the globe are still facing incredible levels of political and social homophobia, discrimination, perse- cution, and, in some cases, incarceration simply based on their sexuality or sero-status. These breaches of basic human rights cannot be tolerated. InterPride, through our world-wide network of Pride organizers will constantly monitor and vigilantly oppose any and all such injustices against our community, bearing political and societal pressure wherever possible. There is no greater time of importance for Pride marches and festivals than right now. With visibility comes a very strong ele- ment of power. With participation comes an equally strong message that all human beings should be treated with equality, respect and dignity. Pride events achieve this in a manner that nothing else can match. As you held your events throughout this year, we hope you gave a thought to those people and organizations facing these challenges, know that you are making a huge difference, and be strong in your resolve that together we can realize a world where tolerance and acceptance of gender, sexuality, race, reli- gion and gender identity is the norm. On behalf of the InterPride Board of Directors and our host, St. Pete’s Pride, we are pleased to welcome you to the 28th Annual World Conference and hope you enjoy every aspect of it. With Pride we can achieve great things!

INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Independent Community Advisory Board (CAB) submits its annual report reviewing the 2017 Pride in London (Pride) events. This report reflects issues raised at the CAB private review meeting held on 20 July 2017, which were based on community feedback and matters identified from CAB members’ own experiences.
