Kingston Pride 2015

Kingston Pride – We exist to inspire, educate, commemorate and celebrate our diverse community.

Kingston, like any other city, has a significant Gay population. We work in all sorts of organizations; in Businesses, our Schools, Colleges and Universities, our Hospitals, our Prisons, the Police service, the Military and, of course, the City of Kingston. Despite recent legislation many *LGBTTIQQ2SA people in Kingston live in fear of discrimination and prejudice. Kingston Pride is our opportunity to confront that fear, to gather as a community and to be out and proud to ourselves, and to those around us. We really are everywhere. * Including, but not limited to: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transsexual, Transgender, Intersex, Queer, Questioning, 2 Spirited, Allies Kingston, Ontario.

Kingston Pride 2015

For 25 years, Kingston has celebrated the diversity of the LGBTTIQQ2SA* community in Kingston and the surrounding area. Kingston Pride coordinates a wide range of activities, including: an annual Pride parade, social gatherings, dances, sporting events, educational workshops, speaker events, film showings, theatrical performances, art exhibitions and more.

Pride gives us the opportunity to be willingly visible in our community; to show the world our diversity; to give thanks to those before us who have campaigned for our rights, and to give voice to our ongoing quest for equality. Despite government legislation, many within the LGBTTIQQ2SA* community of Kingston still live in fear of discrimination. Kingston Pride is our opportunity to confront those fears, to gather as a community and to be out and proud to ourselves and those around us.

Kingston Pride is a grassroots organization established in 1989 that works to promote awareness and inclusion of the LGBTTIQQ2SA* community.
