The interPride World Conference was
held in reykjavik 6–10 October 2004.
More than one hundred delegates from
the Us, Canada, the nordic countries,
Poland, France, the UK and other places
turned up for this productive conference.
The participants attended various work-
shops on different aspects of organizing
a Pride event. The high point, however,
came when Ms. Vigdís Finnbogadóttir,
former president of iceland, addressed
the delegates. Vigdís, the first woman in
the world to be democratically elected
head of state, closed her address with
these words:
“The Gay Pride movement in Iceland has
succeeded through positive communication
with the general public of Iceland. They have
used the language to enlighten people and by
coming proud out on the streets they have
changed the whole atmosphere, from preju-
dice into taking the individual human right for
granted.
You, the delegates at the InterPride confer-
ence here in Reykjavik, represent cities and
countries where the state of human rights is
most advanced in the world. Surely there are
some differences between your countries and
even between regions inside your individual
countries. But compared to the situation in
Eastern Europe, Africa and Asia you have
come a long way. That’s why international
cooperation like yours, communication
between different cultures and beliefs is so
important.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I wish you fruitful deliberations and hope
that when you go back to your homes you will
leave stronger than you were before and
determined to keep up your good work. Human
rights are to be respected.
Thank you.”
