LGBTQ Pride 2023 in Italy (updated in March)

Reading Time: 4 mins read

2023 is shaping up to be a year full of Pride in Italy and events dedicated to the LGBTQIA+ community. 

However, attending a Pride is not the prerogative of only queer people. Pride (also known as Gay Pride or LGBTQ Pride) is for all people, regardless of their sexual orientation and/or gender identity. It is hoped that more and more cishet (heterosexual and cisgender) people will participate in this rainbow event, which is usually held in June, during the so-called Pride Month. 

It is because of the privileges that cishet people hold in our society (still far too heterocisnormative) that so much can be done for our community: more building blocks can be put in place towards creating a more inclusive and welcoming society towards minorities, and through the strength of cishet allies, further representation can be given to LGBTQIA+ people and fight the discrimination they face in their everyday lives, in workplaces, schools, families, etc.

Below we have listed the dates confirmed of “Onda” Pride 2023. The reference to “Onda” (in english “sea wave”) is given in Italy by the queer community to remark the peculiarity of our pride parades, which take place in different cities and provinces, but linked to each other, like a big wave!

Pride flags

If you happen to go to one or more of these Italy Pride 2023, you will see a profusion of flags of every sexual orientation and gender identity that people proudly claim.

Certainly the most important, most significant flag you will see flying is the rainbow flag, invented by Gilbert Baker in 1978 and which today has some substantial changes from the original.

If you want to learn more about this flag and all the others that the LGBTQIA+ community carries during the pride parade in June, read this guide (in italian) of ours, one of the most comprehensive on the Web: The Big Guide to LGBTQ+ Flags and Their Meaning
