Following the success of Jason Jones in his case against the state, with love now decriminalized, there was a call for Pride celebrations. A group of activists from different backgrounds came together and began planning. The theme of Unite4Love was chosen due to an unprecedented show of community togetherness during the year of 2018. Trinidad’s first Pride Parade was a testament to this as hundreds of people from everywhere in the nation paraded through the streets of Port-of-Spain to celebrate love and acceptance.

Pride 2019 in Trinidad and Tobago was a spectacular experience with over 50 events for the LGBTQ+ Community and allies to take part in – over the course of late June and all of July – including the inaugural Iere LGBTQ+ Art Exhibit; inaugural Close Up LGBTQ+ Film Festival; return of Raymond Choo Kong’s ‘Diva’; the ‘We Are …Strong Concert’; and the Grand Parade. Below you can see some of what we have accomplished for 2019.

PrideTT2020 came back with the addition of digital interaction in a series of online activities geared towards community engagement, mobilisation and empowerment.

In 2021, the theme of #powHer was launched to recognize the issues around the safety of women as protests took place across the country advocating for the safety of women.
