How is Pride The Hague working to be inclusive and diverse?

At Pride The Hague, we are committed to embracing intersectionality. Intersectionality is the idea that different aspects of a person’s identity—such as gender, sexuality, race, ability, and socioeconomic background—interact and shape their experiences of privilege or oppression. At Pride The Hague, we aim to center these different voices and make sure that everyone, especially from marginalized groups, has the opportunity to find their community and experience Pride in a meaningful way.

We believe that Pride should be a celebration of all identities within the LGBTQIA+ community, especially those that are often marginalized or underrepresented. Our full mission statement is also available on the website.
