Time: 17 – 21 Aug 2016

Venue: Various locations in Hanoi

The year 2012 marked the first Pride celebration in Vietnam, a country in which same-sex intimacy remains a taboo.

Like Pride elsewhere in the world, Viet Pride advocates for an end of prejudice, discrimination, shame, and invisibility faced by LGBTQ people. In a society where the right to love, acceptance, and dignity is entitled to some and denied of some others, Pride is much needed because it is life-changing. Even life-saving.

Viet Pride Hanoi 2016 Week will be held from Aug 17 to Aug 21 in Hanoi, with film screenings, exhibition, workshops, Work with Pride, Viet Pride scholarship, PFLAG, queer disco, and the signature Viet Pride bicycle rally plus a new Pride parade. In addition, starting from early August, there will be pre-event activities on every Saturday.
