We've just got a winner! 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈EuroPride 2028 goes to the West of Ireland ☘️🌈 Congratulations!

West of Ireland wins EuroPride 2028!

Europe will follow the rainbow to Ireland after more than 120 member organisations cast their votes for the EuroPride 2028 host.
West of Ireland secured the win with an impressive 70% of the votes.

EuroPride will be held on the island of Ireland for the very first time, and it will be more than a celebration. The event will give voice and visibility to smaller Prides and LGBTQIA+ communities across Ireland and Europe, ensuring that every community — rural or urban — is seen, heard, and represented.

Congratulations to the winning team, and a huge thank you to all bidders for their passion, dedication, and commitment to Pride across Europe. 💖

🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 The new EU LGBTI strategy is out for feedback https://europa.eu/!KdH4Xh

Equality is non-negotiable. ❤️️🧡💛💚💙💜

For a fair, safe, and prosperous society, we need everyone on board.

Yet, too many LGBTIQ+ people still face violence and are held back by discrimination. That’s why we are stepping up our efforts with a new LGBTIQ+ Equality Strategy to:

🔹 Strengthen protections against hate-motivated violence
🔹 Ban harmful conversion practices
🔹 Foster inclusion and equal rights across the EU

A better future starts with equality. Together, we can build a Union of Equality for everyone.

Solidarity with our brethren in Hungary 🤝 🇭🇺🇪🇺

The autocratic orbanist regime is trying to silence us, but it's getting the opposite results: our movement is growing stronger! The attempt to ban Pride in Hungary is unacceptable, illegal and will receive a decisive response at on June 28! ✊

No law, no government can erase our dignity, diversity and right to equal participation in the society. 🌈
This is a fight for all of us, not only for LGBTQI+ inclusion, but for democracy, too!
