Europride

Europride is an annual celebration convened by members of the gay and lesbian community who live in Europe.

Inaugurated in 1992 in London, the event was held in 2008 in Stockholm and in 2009 is being hosted in Zurich from 2 May - 7 June, with the theme of "Celebrating 40 years with Pride" - a title that references the 1969 Stonewall riots seen as the birthplace of the modern gay rights movement.
