PrideRadar Global Surveys Are Now Open
InterPride is launching two global surveys to support the next editions of the PrideRadar Report. We invite Pride organizers, Pride organizations, and individuals who attend Pride, Pride-like, and LGBTQIA+ visibility events worldwide to share their experiences and perspectives.
Your participation will help build a more accurate and representative picture of the global Pride movement and strengthen advocacy for LGBTQIA+ communities.

PrideRadar is an ongoing research project of InterPride that tracks the progress of the global Pride movement by collecting and publishing relevant data. Two reports have been produced to date. PrideRadar was initiated by Billy Urich, former Vice President and Chair of the Human Rights Committee, and Mark Frederick Chapman, former Co-President of InterPride. They envisioned bringing together data on Prides worldwide in one report.
How the 2025–2026 Data Collection Powers the Next Two PrideRadar Reports
InterPride is gathering global data throughout 2025 and 2026 from Pride organizers, Pride organizations, and attendees of Pride or LGBTQIA+ visibility events. This dataset will serve as the basis for two critical publications that will strengthen advocacy, visibility, and resource allocation across the global LGBTQIA+ movement.
2026 PrideRadar Summary Findings Report
Purpose:
To provide a clear, accessible snapshot of the global Pride landscape using cleaned but unanalyzed data from the surveys.
What it includes:
-
High-level findings drawn directly from the 2025–2026 dataset
-
Key descriptive trends (e.g., funding sources, volunteer structures, safety considerations, accessibility factors)
-
One or two in-depth case studies
-
A foundational dataset for the following year’s deeper analysis
Use of the data:
This report processes the raw dataset into an organized baseline that frames the major themes emerging from the 2025–2026 global Pride experience.
2027 PrideRadar Analysis Report
Purpose:
To deliver a full comparative and contextual analysis of how Pride is organized and experienced worldwide.
What it includes:
-
Detailed statistical analysis of data from 2025–2026
-
Year-over-year comparisons with previous PrideRadar datasets
-
Trend analysis across regions, economies, and political contexts
-
Integration of external datasets (legal, social, economic, and human rights indicators) to provide broader context
-
Identification of structural challenges, opportunities, and shifts affecting LGBTQIA+ visibility and community safety
Use of the data:
This publication transforms the foundation established in 2026 into a multi-year analytical resource that supports strategic planning and advocacy across the global Pride movement.

How the Reports Work Together
2026: Establish the Global Dataset
A clear, accessible summary that provides a baseline of what was reported in 2025–2026.
2027: Analyze, Compare, Contextualize
An in-depth analytical report that places the data into broader global and historical context.
Together, these reports create a powerful resource for anyone working to advance LGBTQIA+ visibility, safety, rights, and Pride organizing worldwide.
InterPride released the first edition of the PrideRadar Report in 2012, InterPride’s 30th anniversary. This report provided a first-of-its-kind global overview of local, regional, and international organizations that comprise the Pride movement. This report provided a breakdown of the distribution of Pride events across the world at that time, as well as an indication of the political environments in which they took place.
InterPride released the second edition of the PrideRadar research report in 2016/ 2017. The first edition’s data was expanded upon in the second edition. At the local level, it provided an initial assessment of the economic and human rights impacts of Pride organizing and the barriers that organizers face.
Research for the third edition of the report, scheduled to commence in 2022, will build on the foundational work completed in the first two reports. The findings of previous editions will be utilized in a new way to track the progress of the global movement.
Local, national, regional, and international impacts will be assessed. The development of a methodology for monitoring Pride’s impact on human rights, community development, economics, and social systems will be examined and defined. Cross-sectional and comparative data sets will be added to this edition to improve data analysis. The third edition will establish itself as the authoritative source on the evolving role and definition of Pride globally.
