The theme for Stockholm Pride 2022 is «Time to confess colour», a playful and important call to take a stand for the rights of LGBTQ people, be proud and show their support - not least internationally.

Stockholm Pride

Now is the time to take a stand and dare to be uncomfortable, to spread joy and love, to stand up and stand proudly together. It’s time to confess colour and at the same time spread all the colours of the rainbow all over Stockholm, when the festival finally returns in its large-scale form.

«It is time to become a united LGBTQ movement, with lots of allies, for everyone’s right to love, their true identity and to live the life one wants to live. Achieving this requires increased rights, updated legislation, and an open, inclusive society. We are not there yet, but together we can challenge current standards and make a difference«, says Vix Herjeryd, chairperson of Stockholm Pride.

The organisation already sees a great interest in participating in this year’s festival, and with this year’s theme, a wide range of current issues will be accommodated. The forthcoming election, as always, characterises the content of this summer’s pride festival, and this year our politicians will have an opportunity to profess colour.

Stockholm Pride also wants to highlight the troubled situation in Europe, and the difficult situation many LGBTQ people are in. It is time to confess colour, and stand in solidarity with LGBTQ people around the world and let their voices be heard.

In addition to the important conversations, the Stockholm Pride festival is a free zone and a celebration, and with this year’s theme, they hope to create an extra colourful party that the LGBTQ community has really longed for and needs after the years that have passed.

Stockholm Pride encourages everyone who wants to be part of this year’s festival to let the theme permeate all activities in Pride City, the seminars in Pride House and not least the crew in the first pride parade in Stockholm since 2019 – here are all opportunities for a manifestation more colourful than ever !
