Queer Australians are reconsidering attending Washington DC's World Pride festival in 2025, citing fears of discrimination and violence stemming from Donald Trumpâs recent executive orders on LGBTQ+ rights. Many had originally planned trips for the celebration, which promises numerous events including a parade and human rights conferences. However, recent developments and negative sentiments toward LGBTQ+ policies have prompted a significant number of Australians to abandon their plans. Experiences from previous World Pride events, particularly in Sydney, underline the potential economic impact as attendees inject substantial revenue into local economies.
LGBTQ+ Australians are canceling trips to Washington DC's World Pride due to fears of discrimination and attacks under Trump's recently enacted policies.
The upcoming World Pride in Washington DC is expected to attract tens of thousands of attendees, with concerns raised about safety and potential discrimination at the US border.
