Willemstad, the capital of the Caribbean island of Curaçao, will host the island’s first Gay Pride week with seminars, ceremonies and parties between September 25-29.
A masked street dance, a movie marathon, an awards ceremony and the first Caribbean Conference on Women and Sexual Diversity are just a few ways the island, which boasts of 35 beaches, will honour LGBT icons and allies.
André Rojer, Curaçao Tourist Board Marketing Manager North America, said:
“Curaçao has always been welcoming to the LGBT community with appropriately oriented accommodations, events and attitudes.
“But Gay Pride Week is a whole other dimension. We’re right up there now celebrating our diversity and pride along with cities like San Francisco, New York, Miami and others who annually host Gay Pride Weeks. We’re looking forward to the power and potential of this celebration.”
The Curaçao Tourist Board and several island hotels are members of the International Gay & Lesbian Travel Association (IGLTA) and the Miami-Dade Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (MDGLCC).
