In order to safeguard Pride Amsterdam for the future, the following actions will be taken: This is often done from the inside and the result of this can be seen sailing along in recent years in the boat parade: the pink workers' associations of multinationals, which thus contribute to the ‘social norm’ of acceptance. In recent years, gay activism has focused mainly on employers and sports associations and less on politics. Because of these developments, the Pride received the Bob Angelo Medal from the COC (Association for LHBTQI’s) in 2014. After the 16th edition, in 2011, the Pride joined the international pride movement. Years later, emancipatory content was added to the Pride and the festival has grown from a one-day event to a nine-day internationally renowned LHBTQI festival that expresses the diversity of the LHBTQI community through sports, art and culture, pink church services, manifestations in various parts of Amsterdam and Lesbian, Senior and TransPride. This is still anchored in the DNA of the festival. Amsterdam Pride was a party, organised by gay and lesbian entrepreneurs united in GBA (Gay Business Amsterdam), to promote Amsterdam as a gay nightlife city and to celebrate the freedom and diversity of the city. Unlike Pink Saturday, Amsterdam Pride, as the event was called from 1996 to 2006, was not created as a demonstration or protest march. This became an annual event called Pink Saturday since 1979, which takes place in a different city every year. After seven years, the first large demonstration, organised by the International Lesbian Alliance, took place in the Netherlands.

In 1970, one year after the Stonewall riots, the world's first Gay Pride Parade was held in New York. Hundreds of thousands of visitors come to the Pride every year, the best visited part of which is the Canal Pride.

The committees consist of representatives of civil society organisations and other parties involved.īecause the Pride consists of different elements, many different parties are involved in the Pride. The committees are committed to offering activities tailored to their target group and ensure greater visibility for that target group.

The foundation is a non-profit organisation that strives for emancipation, social and legal equality and acceptance of gays, bisexuals and lesbians and also for those who do not want to or cannot conform to socially dominant gender roles (such as male women, female men and queers) or whose gender of birth does not match the way one feels (such as transgenders). The main organisation of the Pride is the Amsterdam Gay Pride Foundation.
