WORLD PRIDE POWER LIST RETURNS FOR 2013

The UK saw many amazing things in 2012: the Diamond Jubilee, the Olympics, the announcement of a royal baby but more importantly the launch of the World Pride Power List. The List, unlike so many other lists of LGBT achievements, spanned the globe and celebrated people from all walks of life no matter where they were based.

The World Pride Power List is produced by Square Peg Media, the leading diversity publishing and events company in the UK, in association with The Guardian newspaper.

The 2013 Pride List will be published in an exclusive Guardian supplement on the day of the annual pride parade in London, Saturday 29 June, with a celebration breakfast at London's exclusive Home House.

PRIDE DINNER

200 leading figures from the worlds of business, showbiz and politics got together with LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) activists to raise money for the reborn Pride in London at a Gala Dinner at Claridge’s in London on Tuesday night where Mayor of London Boris Johnson was guest of honour.

Coronation Street’s Charlie Condou, the BBC’s Jane Hill and Christopher Biggins were joined by coalition government ministers, opposition spokespeople, the corporate sponsors of Pride in London and prominent LGBT activists to celebrate Pride’s theme of Love (and Marriage) and raise funds to support to event in future years. Local MPs Justine Greening, Vince Cable and Mike Freer all attended as well as MPs Chris Bryant and Angela Eagle.

The Mayor of London Boris Johnson said: ‘I am delighted to be supporting the celebrations and pleased with how well plans have been going to make this year’s event a success. The efforts of the individuals behind this year’s event are a fine example of volunteering in action – the Team London spirit! I am also pleased that the Pride team have been able to secure sponsors for the festivities – I hope it will encourage others to come forward, to help build the celebrations in future years. We want to see Pride grow!’

Chairman of Pride in London, Michael Salter said: “Tonight’s event is not only a vital fundraiser but also a way to thank our many generous sponsors as well as some of the key volunteers who have given so much of themselves to put together a brilliant Pride festival for 2013 in such a very short time. We are honoured by the support we have been given by leading politicians, hugely successful businesses and community activists.” The Gala Dinner is just one of a many special events happening to mark Pride in London this week, culminating with the Parade through the heart of London on Saturday 29th June.
