history

The organization was founded in the fall of 1982 under the name National Association of Lesbian and Gay Pride Coordinators , when six representatives from US Pride organizations met in Boston to exchange ideas . Since then, a conference has been held in a different city every year. When representatives from Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom attended a conference, the internationality was respected and the organization was renamed the International Association of Lesbian and Gay Pride Coordinators . The 1997 conference in New York City was already very international with representatives from 73 organizations from 18 countries. At the conference the following year, in West Hollywood , it was decided to add the topic of bisexuality and transgender to the name of the organization. The following year the organization name was changed to InterPride to reflect the international structure. This conference in Glasgow in 1999 was also the first that did not take place on the North American continent. Two years later, in 2001, the conference took place for the first time in the southern hemisphere and the Prime Minister of New Zealand welcomed the participants to Auckland . With the 2003 conference in Montreal it took place for the first time in a city whose main language is not English. And the following year the conference in Reykjavík took place for the first time in a country whose national language is not English. The first conference in continental Europe took place in Zurich in 2007.

WorldPride

The title WorldPride is awarded under license to one of the worldwide events at irregular intervals.

2000 - Rome

The Europride in Rome from July 1st to 9th with a parade on July 8th also became the first World Pride. From July 4th to 7th, the 20th World Conference of the International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA) with over 100 delegates from all over the world took place in Rome, because of attacks by fascists in a hotel under police protection. The opposition in the run-up was great, also because the Roman Catholic Holy Year had been proclaimed. The Vatican protested, and bishops called for a ban. Ersilio Tonini described the event as “a violation of religious feelings, harmful to the upbringing of young people.” Conservative and neo-fascist politicians also railed against it, withdrew patronage, numerous event permits and promised support, and did not want the parade to march through the city center to the Colosseum to let. The latter was approved 2 days before the parade and a planned counter-demonstration by the neo-fascists was canceled. An estimated 100,000 people attended the parade. The Italian Prime Minister Giuliano Amato had publicly regretted that he unfortunately could not prevent World Pride due to constitutional reasons. The whole controversy also meant that it became a major media event and in the months before that, lesbians and gays were discussed across Italy. Several celebrities, including a minister, publicly professed their homosexuality during this period.

2005/2006 - Jerusalem

Gay Prides in Jerusalem have been held since 2002. There were only minor protests from Orthodox Jews.

Jerusalem was selected in 2003 for the World Pride, originally planned in August 2005, under the motto "Ahawah lelo Gwuloth - love without borders", as it is one of the cradles of western and Middle Eastern civilizations. The city's glorious history is overshadowed today by a conflict where ethnic and religious tensions are the order of the day, and the common humanistic element is quickly forgotten and the basic human rights of dignity and freedom are quickly despised. World Pride is intended to gather people from all over the world to spread an important message: “Human rights transcend cultural and ethnic barriers, our differences can be accepted in peace, love knows no boundaries.” The world religions gathered there were also often sources of hostility towards gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people. The main organizer was the Jerusalem Open House organization , in which Jews, Christians and Muslims, Israelis and Palestinians work together. The event was designed to last ten days and should include a film festival, church services, workshops, a street market and a parade.

In December 2004, the Mayor of Jerusalem, Uri Lupolianski, described World Pride as "disgusting, insulting, offensive and provocative". For a long time he tried to persuade the police to ban parades.

However, this did not succeed and so the planned event brought about an extraordinary unity of high religious dignitaries. Interreligious agreement of the three monotheistic world religions is a rarity in Jerusalem. Twelve religious leaders signed a statement to object to the event. The highest dignitaries or their representatives held a joint press conference on March 30, 2005 in Hebrew, English and Arabic. They lamented in a joint statement that "this event is an affront to the hearts and souls of followers of all religions - Jews, Christians and Muslims."

• Sephardic chief rabbi of Israel, Schlomo Amar , said homosexuals caused a lot of pain to their parents. Even in a democracy, not everything should be allowed. They create a deep and cruel pain that is unbearable. “Those” should refrain from “insulting Jerusalem”. In response to a question and answer session from an editor on the Ynet website that the parade was a “demonstration of love”, he replied: “If these people behave decently and do not publicly call to sin, they are welcome. “In the end he again admitted that without the demonstration this rare press conference would not have taken place. "That too is a demonstration of love."
• Jona Metzger , Ashkenazi Grand Rabbi of Jerusalem said: "Please do not destroy the holiness of Jerusalem, preserve its character, preserve its peace ... cancel your plans." It is a "planned provocation against all religions".
• Michel Sabbah , Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem , said that one respects the freedom of others, "but they in turn have to respect our religious feelings". There is “enough tension in the city”.
• Torkom Manoogian , Armenian Patriarch of Jerusalem , and his press officer, Bishop Aris Scherevian, said that God created "Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve". They stressed that God had punished the people of Sodom and Gomorrah for their homosexuality. "We are for human rights, but against sin and crimes for which the Bible reads the death penalty."
• Archbishop Aristachos, representative of the controversial Orthodox Patriarch Irenaios I , said that homosexuals behaved “unjustly” against God's will. They have “no right to do so. The unnatural behavior is sin ”.
• Also Pietro Sambi , apostolic nuncio , joined the views of the more, spoke of a "provocation" and said, "If these people expect us to respect them, then they should also respect us."
• Sheikh Abdel Aziz Bukhari , a Muslim preacher, warned that God would punish the city if the religious representatives did not prevent the event. “We cannot allow anyone to come and defile the Holy City. It is very ugly and very disgusting that these people want to come to Jerusalem. "
• Sheikh Abed es-Salem Menasra, representative of the Mufti of Jerusalem, Ikrimeh Sabri , said of Sodom and Gomorrah: “God destroyed these cities and all the inhabitants. I warn everyone: God will destroy Jerusalem, along with the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims. ”He pointed out that the city was holy to the“ Jahud ”(Jews), the“ Messians ”(Christians) and Islam alike. It should not be desecrated. Homosexuality exists in animals only among monkeys - which is factually incorrect. He went on to say that Judaism and Christianity are “based on the holiness of Jerusalem, while Islam respects Jerusalem because of the Prophet's night journey from El Kuds (Jerusalem).” He threatened to “turn Jerusalem upside down, along with the Jews and Christians ”in case the“ diabolical demonstration ”should take place.
• Also present was Rabbi Yehuda Levin from New York City , from the Orthodox Rabbinical Alliance of America , which is said to represent over 1,000 American rabbis. He called the festival “the spiritual rape of the Holy City. ... This is not the gay country, this is the Holy Land . ”He continued:“ This is not a parade, this is a ten-day radical, militant, anti-familial, anti-divine celebration of sodomy and pornography. Are we really crazy trying to provoke God again? "

Protestant representatives were not present at the press conference.

The evangelical preacher Leo Giovinetti from the Mission Valley Christian Fellowship in San Diego is considered to be the initiator of the unusual joint declaration and press conference . He has long preached against homosexuality and often travels to Israel, where he has relationships with rabbis and politicians. He was absent from the press conference, but spread news of the festival among religious leaders very early on. Together with Benjamin Elon , a member of the Knesset and former Minister of Tourism, and others, he had been working for a long time to prevent the festival. An international campaign was announced at a press conference to collect a million signatures as a protest against the festival. Giovinetti also promised to use his nationwide radio service in America to mobilize the Christians there.

There was also unusual cohesion among Israeli political representatives. Benny Elon was assured of support from thirty Knesset members. Including the Muslim cleric Abdulmalik Dehamshe , who otherwise counteracts all Jewish-Arab understanding. Nissim Zeev pledged himself and the 11 other Knesset members to the orthodox Shas party, although it almost never allies with Christians for any reason.

Daphna Stroumssa from the Open House said: “If there is one thing we have achieved: We brought these people together. We have proven that people who believe in completely different things can talk to each other. "

The government also set the withdrawal of Jewish settlers from the Gaza Strip for the summer of 2005. Thus an extremely difficult political climate was feared and the police forces would be needed elsewhere. So the date was postponed by one year to August 6th to 12th, 2006. A national parade should take place. The mayor of Jerusalem, Uri Lupolianski , wanted to forbid this, as it and the related events could be perceived by some residents as a provocation and would endanger public order in the city, which is inhabited by Jews, Muslims and Christians. A district court lifted the ban and accused the mayor of banning the march for ideological and demagogic reasons. For the most part, the parade went quietly with around 5,000 participants. Of the 1,000 counter-demonstrators, a few threw stones and bags of urine and feces at the demonstrators. A total of twelve men were arrested, including two who were carrying knives. One had thrown himself into the crowd with an 18 centimeter long knife bought specially for this purpose, injured two people slightly and a little later a passerby who intervened. At the interrogation and trial, the ultra-Orthodox man stated that he had been sent by God to kill gays and to prevent such "abnormalities" as Gay Pride. The court called him a fanatic and sentenced him to twelve years in prison for attempted murder.

At the beginning of July 2006, representatives of Jewish, Christian and Islamic religions again spoke out strictly against the World Pride.

• The US Rabbi Yehuda Levin said: "We have to endure six days of sexual permissiveness and debauchery that has never been seen before in the Middle East."
• A flyer published by ultra-Orthodox Jews called for a mass protest against the "Abomination Parade". They feared that religious youth and children could be exposed to homosexuality.
• Sheikh Ibrahim Sarsur said that gays would "reach the Temple Mount just over our corpses during the parade."
• Archbishop Antonio Franco , the Vatican ambassador to Israel, complained about the parade in a conversation with Mayor Uri Lupolianski. "Many people are burdened with the will of a few".

However, Noa Satat, chairman of the Open House , interpreted the reactions of the population as saying that they would not be willing to leave the city to the radicals and that the event would show a tolerant, respectful Jerusalem. Shortly afterwards, Chief Rabbi Schlomo Amar asked Pope Benedict XVI. publicly for help to support him in the fight against World Pride. On July 6th, the Apostolic Nuncio Antonio Franco invited the mayor to his residence and made it clear that it was unacceptable for the “Holy Mother Church” that homosexuals celebrate such a public party in Jerusalem. The mayor regretted that his hands were legally tied.

On July 12, 2006, the 2006 Lebanon War began between Israel and Hezbollah . Rabbi Mosche Sternbuch blamed World Pride for the armed conflict because it aroused the anger of Muslims. Because of the war, the parade alone was canceled in mid-July. The other events took place as planned. Instead of the parade, a small rally with about 300 people was held in Liberty Bell Park on August 10th . There were no counter-demonstrators. After a while, the rally mutated into a demonstration against the war, but not everyone took part. There were fierce discussions between war opponents and war advocates. Signs with anti-war slogans were held up and a Lebanese flag was waved. The police interfered with a few slogans and the Lebanese flag, there was a scuffle and some demonstrators were arrested. At this point the mood threatened to change and the situation to escalate. Then some drag queens agreed to Cindarella , the hit in Shushan, the only gay club in town. Some were able to choreograph the accompanying drag show and started dancing. The other demonstrators were enthusiastic and some of them danced. When it got dark, the demonstration broke up peacefully.

At first it was planned to catch up on the parade in September, but because of the Jewish New Year and the associated bottlenecks in the provision of the executive branch, it took place on November 10th. About a month earlier, on October 18, ultra-Orthodox Jews demonstrated against the parade. She was again blamed for the war in Lebanon. As a speaker, Moshe Sternbuch said: "We have not achieved our goals in Lebanon because indecency and sexual permissiveness are rampant in the Holy Land." In Israel there is "no greater impairment than this shameful parade." Rabbi Ovadja Joseph also took part the demonstration. He fights against the "indecent filthy parade of Amalekites who want to defile the Holy City." (Amalekites were a tribe in Canaan who fought with the Hebrews for land ownership in the early days of Israel and is therefore considered an enemy of the people of Israel.) Also in In the following period, ultra-Orthodox Jews repeatedly demonstrated, rioted, set garbage cans and discarded cars on fire, pelted the police with stones and blocked roads. The police considered canceling the parade because of information about possible attack plans. Prosecutor General Menachem Mazuz spoke out against a ban: “Giving in to threats is a threat to democracy! Therefore, banning the parade is unthinkable. ”On November 6, the Supreme Court ruled that three men, led by ultra-Orthodox religious leader Yehuda Meshi-Zahav, for a ban on the parade would not be upheld. The plaintiffs had argued that the parade could trigger a bloodbath. The presiding judge Dorit Beinisch criticized the lawyers of the applicants: “You cannot warn of a bloodbath if you are representing the people who are threatening the bloodbath. It's really enough: it would now be time for de-escalation. ”On November 8, the Vatican called on Israel to ban the parade. "The Vatican has repeatedly said that freedom of expression has limits, especially when it offends the religious sentiments of believers," read a letter from the Holy See . "It is clear that the gay parade that is to take place in Jerusalem offends the majority of Jews, Muslims and Christians." On November 9, the religious opponents of the parade held a march of the beasts . They walked the planned parade route with cows, donkeys and goats and carried signs saying “I'm angry!” Or “Enough dirt!”. In the afternoon the cancellation of the parade through the city center was announced. In addition to the planned protests by Orthodox Jews, there were 30 terrorist warnings from the Palestinian side, as 18 civilians in the northern Gaza Strip had accidentally been hit by Israeli fire the day before. A non-public demonstration in a stadium of the city university was scheduled as a substitute. The ultra-Orthodox Jews were satisfied with it and promised not to take action against the closed event. In addition, they called for the release of their fellow believers, who had been arrested during the violent demonstrations in the days before.

On the afternoon of November 10, around 2,000 (police report) up to 10,000 (organizers) people demonstrated in the stadium of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem on the Givat Ram campus for the rights of gays and lesbians. Sehava Gal-On , a Knesset MP for the Meretz Party, also spoke , praising the "wisdom and courage and the manner in which the struggle for equality, free speech and democracy was waged." Man storming the stage shouting homophobic slogans. He was stopped by the police and removed from the premises.

Despite the security risks, some activists wanted to hold an impromptu parade in Jerusalem. 30 activists and five counter-demonstrators were arrested. The latter were armed with batons, knives and a pistol. A total of 3,000 police officers were on duty.

On June 21, 2007 there was another short parade through the streets of Jerusalem with 2,500 participants. Only the final rally was waived for security reasons. As usual, attempts were made in vain to enforce a ban, this time with a law that was supposed to forbid events in Jerusalem that offend religious sentiments. But there were fewer testimonies from religious leaders. Police discovered an explosive device in the pocket of an ultra-Orthodox Jew and arrested him. He would have wanted to detonate it during the parade. In another part of the city, several hundred counter-demonstrators gathered, brought traffic to a standstill in protest, waved banners and set fire to rubbish bins. 1,000 firefighters went on strike because of the parade. A total of 7,000 police officers were on duty. After a radio silence, there have been talks between the organizers and Orthodox religious leaders since the beginning of 2008. In June 2008 the situation normalized. Again there were few problems and counter-demonstrators. 3,000 participants were protected by 2,000 police officers. In 2009 around 2,000 people took part and around 1,500 police officers were on duty. There were small protest groups at the parade in mourning clothes and sprinkled with ashes, an egg thrower, windows taped black and a counter-demonstration in another place. Leaders of the ultra-Orthodox Edah HaChareidis , who were previously involved in the violent protests, asked their members not to demonstrate because they did not want the youth to be exposed to homosexuality.

2012 - London

On October 30th, 2008 it was decided that World Pride 2012 would be organized by Pride London . The events took place from June 23rd to July 8th, the parade on July 7th. More than a million visitors were expected. Europe's first demonstration took place in London in 1970 and in 2008 the parade attracted around 825,000 people. One month later, the 2012 Summer Olympics will be held in London from July 27 to August 12, 2012, followed by the traditional Paralympics .

2014 - Toronto

On October 18, 2009, it was determined that the 2014 World Pride will be hosted by Pride Toronto . The events are slated to coincide with the Canadian National Day on July 1 and the American National Day on July 4. The first criticism was expressed the day after. Points of discussion were that no one had asked the city council; whether the economic benefit is really given; and evangelical preacher Charles McVety , president of Canada Christian College since 1993 , said the city is now spending millions of dollars on a "sex parade."

2017 - Madrid

Rainbow flag on the Palacio de Cibeles

On October 7, 2012, it was decided in Boston that Madrid would be awarded the World Pride for 2017.

The event lasted from June 22, 2017 to July 1, 2017 and included concerts, events and a human rights conference on the topic ( Madrid Summit ).
