The Guyana LGBTIQ Coalition, in collaboration with the British High Commissioner to Guyana, Jane Miller, has launched Guyana Pride Festival 2022. The launch took place on May 11 ahead of the International Day against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia (IDAHOTB), a SASOD release noted on Thursday.
The Pride Festival will be celebrated this year under the IDAHOTB theme, “Our Bodies, Our Lives, Our Rights.”
In her brief remarks at the launch, Miller declared that “the UK is very proud to be a champion for LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender] rights across the whole world. LGBT rights are fundamental human rights and we are committed to the principle that everyone, everywhere, should be able to love the person they love and express themselves without fear of violence.”
