24e PRIDE HOUSE
Join us for the Olympic and Paralympic Games taking place in Paris in 2024.
Under the auspices of Pride House International, Pride Houses have been a part of major international sporting events since the 2010 Vancouver Olympics and Paralympics. They have been present at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, Asian and Pan American Games, World Cups, European Cups… and now in Paris!
A “Pride House” is an identifiable, safe, and welcoming space for LGBTI+ supporters, athletes, and allies during a major international sporting event. The purpose of this place is to be open and accessible to anyone sharing common values to promote inclusion in sports and make LGBTI+ athletes visible. It offers a diverse program of sports, festive, cultural, and educational activities.
The organization “Fier-Play” will host the “Pride House • Paris 2024” in line with the global initiative led by Pride House International, focusing on three main objectives:
Experience a unique event
Celebrate and enjoy the games with festive activities
Facilitate interactions with openly LGBTI+ athletes and allies
Raise awareness and break invisibility
Educate the public about LGBTI+ issues in sports
Dismantle the invisibility of LGBTI+ individuals in sports during and after the Olympic and Paralympic Games and Promote testimonials and role models
Advocate for the universal decriminalization of homosexuality
