ShanghaiPRIDE

ShanghaiPRIDE gives back to the community by supporting charities. We thank our raffle prize sponsors, all businesses in Shanghai, for donating prizes and gift vouchers to help our cause in creating awareness and promoting tolerance.

Dear Pride Supporters:
We thank you for everyone’s support: parents, media, allies, community. It is only the 2nd day of Pride and the participants already exceeded our expectations. Pride is honored to have this support. A lot of effort was put in for tonight’s opening party, but there is much improvement to be made. Despite negotiations with the venue, we have angered and hurt many of you. We deeply regret and are utmost sorry for this.

Thank you for your feedback and kicking our asses! We hope to see you in our week-long festival.
Yours truly,
ShanghaiPRIDE Organizers&Volunteers

Rendezvous: A​ ​Tragicomedy Special Preview
Set in present-day Shanghai, Christie Koletto’s marriage to Julian has hit a major roadblock thanks to her inability to satisfy his desire to expand the family. As he pushes the issue and begins to lead a secret life, Christie continues her own double life. Sylvester, a charming stranger going through a major transition, enters Christie’s world hoping to be her man. A twist of fate will bring all three people together, calling into question their sense of identity, and their lives will never be the same again.

Speak Out 2014 – Hear the LGBT Community

Event postponed to September

Brief Introduction of “Speak Out”

“Speak Out” is our social innovative program this year, a panel discussion centered on LGBT themes. As the name suggests, we hope to let the public hear out the minority group – the LGBT community. We hope LGBT-friendly enterprises, groups and/or individuals will join us on our stage to speak out and make an effort to stamp out discrimination against the LGBT community.
