The United States and Iceland: Milestones in LGBTI Rights Message from the U.S. Embassy to the People of Iceland and visitors to Reykjavik Pride 2019 Our U.S. Embassy team is pleased to extend warm greetings to the participants in Reykjavik Pride and to congratulate Reykjavik Pride on your 20th anniversary! The U.S. Embassy is a proud supporter of this festival and of the LGBTI community in Iceland. We’ve watched Reykjavik Pride grow to become one of Europe’s most successful celebrations of LGBTI pride, and we welcome Americans who have traveled to take part. The U.S. Embassy will march in the Reykjavik Pride Parade for the ninth consecutive year with our families and friends. Even as Reykjavik Pride celebrates this historic milestone, the world is marking the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising in New York City’s Greenwich Village. Outrage over the police raid on the Stonewall Inn is credited for launching the global fight for LGBTI rights. As one activist put it: “In every gay pride parade, every year, Stonewall lives.” To reinforce the shared journey toward inclusion, the Embassy sponsored Reykjavik Pride board members to attend WorldPride in New York this summer. We are optimistic that these Icelanders will build links to their American counterparts that will strengthen our shared quest for equality. We also will provide funding to make Pride accessible to disabled participants and, once again, we will support a family festival to provide a safe and welcoming environment for LGBTI families. The United States is also proud to join Iceland on the Equal Rights Coalition, the first-ever intergovernmental organization dedicated to the protection of LGBTI persons worldwide. Our Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, has been clear that the United States stands with people around the world in affirming the dignity and equality of all, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. Even as we look back, the United States pledges to keep looking forward and working with our Icelandic friends on behalf of LGBTI rights everywhere in the world. With warm regards from all the staff at the U.S. Embassy in Iceland
