InterPride announced that Kaohsiung Pride, in Taiwan, has won the bid to host WorldPride in 2025.
With this vote by InterPride members, a WorldPride event will be held in East Asia for the first time.
The annual gathering of Pride organizers from around the world, the InterPride 2021 General Meeting & World Conference, began Nov. 6,. In light of the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, this year's conference and bidding process took place virtually. More than 300 member organizations worldwide participated in the voting process, workshops, plenary sessions, and regional and board meetings during the eight-day event.
InterPride's 2022 General Meeting & World Conference will be held in Guadalajara, Mexico, on Oct. 27, 2022. In 2023, Sydney will host WorldPride.
