Religious Pride events
Since the inception of Pride , activities with a religious or philosophical character have been organised. Over the years, these initiatives have increasingly been brought together within a joint structure under the Pride banner. From this development, Religious Pride was born.
Religious Pride is supported by a committee with representatives of various religious and philosophical communities, including churches, synagogues and organisations of lhbtiqa+ persons of faith. Together they are committed to visibility, meeting and connecting at the intersection of faith, identity and Pride.
Goals and vision
Religious Pride puts together a programme that is open, inclusive and connecting, with a special focus on lhbtiqa+ persons of faith. The programme offers space for reflection, celebration, dialogue and encounter and is open to all, regardless of religious background or belief.
Although the position of lhbtiqa+ persons of faith in the Netherlands is gradually improving, they still face misunderstanding, prejudice or exclusion. This can occur both within religious communities and within the lhbtiqa+ community. It is therefore important that safe and free spaces exist during Pride where lhbtiqa+ persons of faith can be themselves, feel empowered, celebrate and share their contribution to emancipation and social acceptance.
Religious Pride is part of Pride Amsterdam and contributes content to the programme, including special editions such as WorldPride. Within this context, its own programme is put together in cooperation with the religious and philosophical organisations involved.
