The Hong Kong Pride Parade 2019 will change to a public meeting.
The Hong Kong Police have issued a Letter of No Objection to the public event held by the Hong Kong Pride Parade only in the form of a public meeting on November 16, 2019.
Continuing over 10 years, Hong Kong Pride Parade welcomes all public participation to support sexual minority rights, to urge the government to protect its people from basic human right deprivation. We encourage participants to follow our dress code: "Pride Rainbow" on the event day. Let us all adhere to the tradition of HKPP, in “a queer way”, glamorously, peacefully and rationally expressing our demands.

Hong Kong Pride Parade 2018 was held successfully in Nov 17. And we keep the energy going!
We have alreadly started the work of planning Hong Kong Pride 2019. Volunteer training is on the way. Most importanly, we have filed our application of date and venue of the coming parade. This is not easy in Hong Kong to get the approval from the government owned venue, and the Police. For your information, a formal Letter of No Objectioin isssued by the Police is needed for any public assembly and march. The process is not easy and we also need to buy an insurance to fullfil the venues' requirement. We need to pay for 20 Thousand HK dollars solely for the insurance. This is a big amount for us, give that the total budget of the whole parade is only about 200-300 Thousand HK dollars. The insurance expenses is about one-tenth of our budget!
Your donation is so important that makes our pride parade happen!
Again, please accept our greatest gratitude for your support.

We are very pleased that the number of participants in this year's parade has reached a record high of 12,000 people. Thanks again to all the participants, organizations, sponsors, rainbow ambassadors, guests, performersand volunteers for participation in the parade.
We hope that our voice will be heard by more people, so that the government can face the different genders and sexual orientations and persuade the government to shoulder its to legislate the sexual discrimination ordinance, thus allowing the spirit of equality to manifest in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong currently does not have anti-discrimination legislation covering sexual orientation. A key demand this year has been to enshrine equality into the law through the introduction of legal protections for LGBT+ people.
The parade also focused on introducing more gender-neutral facilities, such as public bathrooms, to create an inclusive environment for non-binary and transgender people.
