Global Pride

Although live events have been canceled or postponed due to Covid-19, there are alternate ways of participating in this year’s Pride Month.

Tune into “Global Pride” on June 27, at 10:30am (ET).

World leaders, royalty, pop stars and drag queens will anchor this year’s 24-hour Global Pride livestream, the first worldwide L.G.B.T.Q. event, which is putting the Black Lives Matter movement at its center.  Todrick Hall will host the stream of music, performances, speeches and messages of support.  It is expected to attract up to 300 million viewers.

Participants include Joseph R. Biden Jr., the presumptive Democratic nominee for president; the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi; Justin Trudeau, the Canadian prime minister; Leo Varadkar, the Irish prime minister; Carlos Alvarado Quesada, president of Costa Rica, where same-sex marriage was legalized in May; Erna Solberg, prime minister of Norway; Xavier Bettel, prime minister of Luxembourg; Crown Princess Mary of Denmark; and Prince Manvendra Singh Gohil of India.

The entertainers Laverne Cox, Adam Lambert, Kesha, Rita Ora, the Pussycat Dolls, Dixie Chicks, Olivia Newton-John, Pabllo Vittar, Courtney Act and many others will also take part.

Hundreds of Pride organizations from around the world contributed to the stream, including most of the ones on this list.
