staged in countries and localities across the globe, providing the
most visible manifestations of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer
and intersex movements and politics. Pride Parades and LGBT
Movements contributes to a better understanding of LGBT protest
dynamics through a comparative study of eleven Pride parades in
seven European countries - Czech Republic, Italy, Netherlands,
Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK - and Mexico. Peterson,
Wahlstroem and Wennerhag uncover the dynamics producing
similarities and differences between Pride parades, using unique
data from surveys of Pride participants and qualitative interviews
with parade organizers and key LGBT activists. In addition to
outlining the histories of Pride in the respective countries, the
authors explore how the different political and cultural contexts
influence: Who participates, in terms of socio-demographic
characteristics and political orientations; what Pride parades mean
for their participants; how participants were mobilized; how Pride
organizers relate to allies and what strategies they employ for
their performances of Pride. This book will be of interest to
political scientists and sociologists with an interest in LGBT
studies, social movements, comparative politics and political
behavior and participation.
