What is Pride?
Pride, or the Pride movement, is part of the LGBTQ+ movement that celebrates sexual orientation and gender identity as a natural and positive part of who we are. It promotes pride, acceptance, and diversity. The movement is most visible through colourful and joyful Pride festivals and parades, held in cities across the world.
Why is it called Pride?
The word "Pride" is used to celebrate identity and stand against shame and discrimination. It encourages LGBTQ+ people to live openly and confidently. The name comes from the first Pride marches after the Stonewall riots, symbolising unity, resistance, and self-respect.
Why does Strawberry sponsor Pride?
Diversity and inclusion are core values we live by every day – for both guests and employees. Our commitment to equality goes far beyond Pride Week. It’s a year-round effort, rooted in fair hiring, internal training, and a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination. We believe in open and respectful dialogue – without compromising our values.
