The British Consulate-General Atlanta is looking forward to representing the UK Government in its fifth year of participation in Atlanta Pride. As one of the most progressive countries in Europe for LGBT rights, with more than 60 annual Pride events held in cities across the UK and 26 cities across the Americas, active participation in local Pride events demonstrates the UK’s global leadership as advocates for LGBTQ+ and human rights.
