Following the Coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak of 2019/2020, many local Pride festivals and events up and down the UK have been postponed or cancelled.
With people forced into self-isolation, Virtual Pride 2020 offers a FREE day long online festival celebrating Britain’s diverse LGBT+ community and we are delighted to support this initiative and will be involved on the day.
Virtual Pride:
Virtual Pride will feature 14 hours of FREE performances live streamed from the artist’s home. The day will also include speeches and messages from leading LGBT+ personnel and an information/awareness directory on the Virtual Pride website. Viewers will be encouraged to donate throughout the event and money raised will be split between LGBT+ charities and UK Pride festivals taking part in Virtual Pride.
With a lack of LGBT+ parades and marches on our streets this summer, Virtual Pride offers a platform for the LGBT+ community to come together this May.
Parade:
Every Pride should feature a parade and ours will too…
At 5pm everyone in the UK – and beyond – will be encouraged to post a video on Social Media of themselves walking around their home. They must include a feel-good #VirtualPride message and together, all at once, we will march in unity.
