Oslo Pride will be included in the state budget from 2022

Peaceful Assembly

The Oslo Pride will be included in the state budget from 2022. Minister of Culture and Gender Equality, Abid Raja, called this decision a symbolic recognition. Fredrik Dreyer, leader of the Pride festival in Oslo, called the decision a “big celebration”, adding that having a secure amount of funding every year will increase the autonomy of the event. Begard Reza, secretary general of the Salam organisation, which works for queer Muslims, hopes that stable public funding will ensure the participation of small organisations.

“Right now it is too expensive for many queer organisations that are important and that have recently popped up. For example, trans organisations, Sami and Muslim organisations like us.”
