Bermuda Pride
Bermuda Pride supports our LGBTQ+ communities in the pursuit of our unequivocal right to be safe, seen, valued, and thriving!
Bermuda Pride
Bermuda Pride has been an annual tradition in Bermuda since 2019. Pride is more than a celebration—it’s a powerful act of visibility and protest. As we work toward a Bermuda free from discrimination, Pride provides an opportunity for the LGBTQ+ community and allies to come together, take up space, and demand change.
Beyond the march, Bermuda Pride is a space for connection, solidarity, and joy. It’s also a vital fundraiser, helping to sustain year-round initiatives that support Bermuda’s LGBTQ+ community. Proceeds from Pride directly fund programs such as free subsidized counseling, empowerment grants, an education bursary, and more.
Mission & Values
Bermuda Pride supports our LGBTQ+ communities in the pursuit of our
unequivocal right to be safe, seen, valued, and thriving.
Our annual Pride celebration offers our diverse community and allies a period of greater visibility, connection and support by producing events that:
INSPIRE you to think, speak, and act with love, respect and courage.
EDUCATE our community in order to create a more compassionate and just society.
HONOR our past and present by amplifying our voices, efforts, and stories...
and CELEBRATE the power and beauty of who we are.
As we come together around this year’s ‘Homecoming’ theme’ we invite those in our community who have left our island to return to Bermuda to celebrate how far we’ve come and to recognize how far
we have to go. As we work together to build a future free from discrimination and stigmatization, we invite LGBTQ+ Bermudians and allies around the globe and here at “home” to reaffirm that we belong here and that Bermuda belongs to us too.
Goals
When there are diverse representations of LGBTQ+ people and allies included in the media, organisations, and community events, society is able to see more perspectives within the community and form a more complete picture. Rather than reverting to stereotypes, the LGBTQ+ community becomes a full visible spectrum as we see represented so colourfully during Pride and in the Progress Flag. Pride’s events support a shift in social consciousness towards a more inclusive society, moving us all closer to a deeper more intentional love of ourselves and our neighbours.
Pride events offer opportunities for the LGBTQ+ community and our allies to participate together in a joyful week of events that celebrate the diversity of our community while bringing awareness to the issues that continue to plague us. There is a continued need for us to be able to reconnect with each other and to explore the strength of our community as a whole.
There is power in sharing who we are with our island home and through our panel discussion, through the LGBTQ+ artists performing during the weekend and through our allies’ commitment to ally-ship, we are looking forward to sharing how we live and love in our island home.
