More and more countries around the world are recognizing our relationships through same-sex marriage legislation as we also witness an increase in Pride March’s and Festivals. Even in the sporting world where we have not traditionally seen diverse sexuality recognition the Pride House concept has been adopted. These are truly major steps toward equality and all members of the Pride movement can be truly proud of these achievements. The fight is by no means over and we still have a long way to go but every Pride – from the smallest to the largest – helps to champion the world-wide cause and highlight to those coun- tries and their governments who maintain their belief in in- equality the real need for change that exists. Each and every Pride sends an overwhelming message that all citizens of the world, regardless of race, color, religion, gender identity or sex- uality should be treated equally. InterPride will constantly strive to advise, guide and assist our member organizations where needed to achieve this ultimate goal. We will also continue to play an active role in fostering new Prides by seeking out opportunities to work with local LG- BTI communities in areas of need. Through a strong belief in equal human rights and the unyield- ing hard work of the world Pride movement we will achieve One Heart One World One Pride.
