Portugal has made remarkable strides in advancing LGBTI+ rights, becoming one of the most progressive countries in Europe. Same-sex marriage has been legal since 2010, adoption rights were granted in 2016, and strong anti-discrimination laws protect the LGBTI+ community. These achievements reflect a society that values equality and human rights. But the fight is far from over.
EuroPride is more than a celebration — it’s a platform for visibility, activism, and solidarity. In today’s world, where polarization and extremism are rising, giving a voice to marginalized communities is more critical than ever. EuroPride 2025 aims to highlight not only LGBTI+ rights but also universal human rights, fostering a message of respect, inclusion, and unity.
Through a vibrant parade, powerful speeches, cultural events, and the Human Rights Conference, EuroPride 2025 will amplify voices that need to be heard, ensuring that love, diversity, and acceptance take center stage.
This year’s theme encourages everyone to live openly and authentically. It’s a declaration that no one should have to hide who they are. In a world facing social and political divides, Proudly Yourselves calls for less hate and more love — not just within the LGBTI+ community but among all people.
It’s about showing pride in who you are, standing tall against prejudice, and inspiring others to do the same. EuroPride 2025 invites everyone — regardless of gender, sexuality, race, or background — to come together in a powerful act of unity.
EuroPride 2025 will showcase the incredible diversity and talent within the LGBTI+ community. From artists and performers to activists and everyday people striving to make the world better, this event is a testament to resilience and creativity.
But beyond the celebration, EuroPride serves as a reminder that the fight for equality is ongoing. It’s a space to advocate for those who still face discrimination and injustice, and to demand a future where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.
Join us in Lisbon for EuroPride 2025, and let’s stand together — proudly, openly, and united — to celebrate who we are and fight for a world where everyone can live Proudly Yourselves.
