BERMUDA PRIDE 2025
2025: Pride is Protest. Pride is Power. Pride is Us.
Pride is more than a celebration—it is a movement. In 2025, our theme reminded us of the roots of Pride as an act of defiance, the strength we hold as a community, and the collective power we have to shape a more inclusive Bermuda.
Across the world, LGBTQ+ rights are being challenged, and here in Bermuda, the fight for equality continues. Pride is not just about one day; it is about standing together, taking action, and refusing to be erased.
Pride may be over, but our work continues. Please look at our policy manifesto to learn more about how you can support our efforts to create a better Bermuda.

Pride is:
Pride began as an uprising led by those who refused to stay silent in the face of injustice. Today, our community still faces discrimination, exclusion, and systemic inequality. We march not just to celebrate but to demand change. Advocacy, activism, and social progress are at the heart of Pride.
The Policy Manifesto, our ongoing push for legal protections, and our commitment to visibility are all ways we protest. Simply existing as our full, authentic selves is an act of defiance.
There is power in community. When we come together, we build momentum for change. Through collective action, storytelling, and advocacy, we shape a future where LGBTQ+ people in Bermuda can thrive. Pride reminds us that we are not alone—that together, we are stronger.
The work we do, from providing access to free counseling to supporting education and empowerment grants, is proof of the power we hold when we uplift one another.
Pride belongs to all of us. It is not just an event—it is a reflection of who we are as a community. Every queer Bermudian, every ally, and every person who believes in equality has a place in this movement.
This year, we especially recognize the need for full inclusion of Black queer people, trans people, and all those whose voices have too often been left out of the conversation. Our strength lies in our diversity, and together, we are shaping Bermuda’s future.
Goals
When LGBTQ+ individuals and allies are represented across media, organizations, and community events, society gains a more complete and inclusive understanding of the community’s diverse perspectives. It's essential that Pride reflects the full spectrum of Bermuda's LGBTQ+ community, ensuring that all voices are heard and celebrated. Rather than reinforcing stereotypes, Pride allows us to showcase the richness and diversity of our identities, as symbolized by the diverse array of events. These events play a vital role in shifting social consciousness toward a more inclusive society, helping us all foster a deeper, more intentional love for ourselves and our neighbors.
Pride events provide opportunities for both the LGBTQ+ community and our allies to come together in a week of celebration, highlighting the richness of our diversity while also raising awareness about the issues we still face as outlined by our Policy Manifesto. It’s important for us to continue engaging with one another, strengthening the bonds of our community and celebrating its power as a whole.
Sharing our stories and putting voices to our struggles to our voices holds great power. Through panel discussions, performances by LGBTQ+ artists, marching through the streets of Hamilton and with the unwavering commitment of our allies, we are eager to engage and share the ways we can make an impact on Bermuda as a whole.
