Amsterdam Pride sends defiant message of gay visibility
Adrian Tippetts reports from Amsterdam Pride, speaking to organisers ProGay about media attention, homophobic violence and why the city is not the safe haven it once was.
The program of the Amsterdam Gay Pride this year is bigger then ever. From the 1st until the 8th of August more then 300 activities will be organised in Amsterdam. The 15th edition of this event is themed ‘Celebrate’. Saturday the 7th of August 80 festive boats will navigate through the canals during the traditional boat float.
On 8 August 2010 the Homomonument in Amsterdam will be all about children, hosting the first ever Pink Kids festival, especially for children of gay, lesbian and bisexual parents.
