As a participant in Pride Amsterdam, COC Netherlands embraces this opportunity to reinforce our message of love, acceptance, and equality. Our boat is more than just a part of the parade; it is a symbol of our determination to promote a society where everyone can be themselves, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

Year after year, we strive to convey a message of empowerment and solidarity, and this year is no exception. Our boat represents diversity in all its facets, and we are proud to provide a safe and inclusive space where people are free to express themselves. But it goes beyond just celebrating; it is an opportunity for the community to come together and fight for equal rights and opportunities for everyone.

We believe it is important to convey a political statement and respond to current events. That’s why we will only reveal our concept later on. This way, we can fully focus on selecting a theme that reflects the diversity within the LGBTQ+ community while also addressing today’s societal challenges.
