WorldPride 2025 in Washington, D.C. is intended as a celebration, but its imminent arrival has sparked controversy due to the safety of LGBTQ+ individuals under the current administration. The African Human Rights Coalition has called for a boycott, citing concerns for the safety of foreign attendees, especially marginalized groups. They argue that attending the event may resemble legitimizing an oppressive environment. In contrast, WorldPride organizers assert that participation symbolizes resistance against oppressive policies, emphasizing the importance of visibility and solidarity within the LGBTQ+ community.
The United States is no longer a free democratic country that WorldPride signed up for, highlighting the gravity of the situation facing LGBTQ+ individuals under the current administration.
A boycott of WorldPride sends the wrong message; instead, we need to show up together, demonstrating resilience and resistance to ensure visibility and support for LGBTQ+ rights.
