"Pride began as protest, and that spirit remains at the heart of everything we do. Marking 60 years since London's first march by hosting WorldPride 2032 would give us the opportunity to welcome the world to our city. It would unite us in solidarity and action at a time when LGBTQIA+ rights are being challenged globally."
"WorldPride, which takes place every two years, is an international event that promotes LGBTQ+ awareness, visibility and rights, with parades, festivals and also conferences. WorldPride London 2032, if successful, would see an expanded 10-day festival, with two marches, a human rights conference and plenty of events, including opening and closing ceremonies."
Pride In London announced its bid to host WorldPride 2032, strategically choosing this year to mark the 60th anniversary of the first Pride march held on July 1, 1972. The event would feature an expanded 10-day festival including two marches, a human rights conference, opening and closing ceremonies, and various events. WorldPride is an international biennial event promoting LGBTQ+ awareness, visibility, and rights globally. Pride In London's interim CEO Rebecca Paisis emphasized that Pride originated as protest and maintaining this spirit remains central to their mission. The bid is supported by London Mayor Sadiq Khan and co-chaired by Philip O'Ferrall and Rebecca Paisis, aiming to unite the world in solidarity during a time of challenged LGBTQ+ rights globally.
