Tampa PRIDE at World PRIDE Conference
This year the InterPRIDE World PRIDE Conference was held in Guadalajara Mexico. Team TAMPA PRIDE represented Tampa to the World PRIDE LGBTAQ+ DIRECTORS and LEADERS. Over the 4 day conference our team took part in dozens of interactive workshops during the day and 3 general World Pride meetings. At these meeting we discussed LGBTAQ+ world and regional national topics. There were presentations from Amsterdam and Orlando to host World Pride 2026. After the vote Amsterdam won. The political climate in the world and USA were in many conversations. World Pride in 2025 in Taiwan was canceled because of political problems and uncertainty. It was voted to give World Pride 2025 to the 1st runner up Washington D.C. This should be interesting.
It was not all work. Mexico was busy getting ready for the National Day of the Dead Celebrations. There were alters to the dead and Catrina’s everywhere. Our 1st night we were guests of the American Ambassy. The Ambassador opened up her home to us. In the back yard was new mural featuring LGBT people. The second night we were guests of the Governor at a famous local Castle/Museum. The final night Gala was at the National Library. Miss Darcel Stevens Wowed the audience with the incredible local talent too.
