The presentation will discuss the main challenges faced by Pride organizers at a global level, particularly against the backdrop of the ongoing hostility towards LGBTQIA+ persons, the role of corporations, the existence of internal fractures within LGBTQIA+ circles, which often lead to the emergence of “Alternative Pride Events,” as well as emerging challenges relating to disability justice and environmental sustainability.
