Today, Pride parades are staged in countries and localities across the globe, providing the most visible manifestations of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer and intersex movements and politics.
...Pride Parades and LGBT Movements contributes to a better understanding of LGBT protest dynamics through a comparative study of eleven Pride parades in seven European countries – Czech Republic, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK – and Mexico. Peterson, Wahlström and Wennerhag uncover the dynamics producing similarities and differences between Pride parades, using unique data from surveys of Pride participants and qualitative interviews with parade organizers and key LGBT activists. In addition to outlining the histories of Pride in the respective countries, the authors explore how the different political and cultural contexts influence: Who participates, in terms of socio-demographic characteristics and political orientations; what Pride parades mean for their participants; how participants were mobilized; how Pride organizers relate to allies and what strategies they employ for their performances of Pride.
This book will be of interest to political scientists and sociologists with an interest in LGBT studies, social movements, comparative politics and political behavior and participation.

Gay Pride parades are annual arenas of queer public culture, where embodied notions of subjectivity are sold, enacted, transgressed and debated.
From Sydney to Rome, Queering Tourism analyses the ...paradoxes of gay pride parades as tourist events, exploring how the public display of queer bodies - the way they look, what they do, who watches them, and under what regulations - is profoundly important in constructing sexualized subjectivities of bodies and cities.
Drawing on extensive collections of interviews, visuals and written media accounts, photographs, advertisements, and her own participation in these parades, Lynda Johnston gives a vibrant account of ‘queer tourism’ in New Zealand, Australia, Scotland and Italy. For each place, she looks at how the relationship between the viewer and the viewed produces paradoxical concepts of bodily difference, and considers how the queered spaces of gay pride parades may prompt new understandings of power and tourism.
Examining the intersection of sexuality, space and tourism, and using empirical data gathered at Gay pride parades such as the Sydney Mardi Gras, New Zealand HERO Parade and World Pride Roma 2000, this important work produces a deconstructive account of tourism and presents new ways of thinking through the powerful processes of subjectivity formation.

'Johnston's books is an extremely credible addition to the present gay and lesbian scholarship. It provides an excellent, critical review of politics and performances at gay Pride parades, written with clarity of style' . - Neil Michael Walsh, Journal of Tourism and Cultural Change
Pride events challenge hegemonic notions of sexuality and gender within places they are held. This is particularly the case in rural communities that are perceived, rightly or wrongly, as prejudices ...towards individuals with a diverse sexuality or gender identity. However, although academic
literature has extensively explored Pride events within an urban context, limited attention has been paid to the rural context, and still little to those in their infancy. This article examines how stakeholders responded to the cancellation of a Pride event in the Australian rural township
of Wagga Wagga due to COVID19. The pandemic, in this context, provided an opportunity to understand attitudes towards the event and its cancellation. Through this process, eight topics were identified as: council funding, cancellation as homophobic, last-minute cancellation, cancellation regretted,
cancellation supported, organizers acknowledged, LGBTIQI+, and Pride event. Based on these findings, implications for the cancellation of social contentious events in response to such circumstances are identified. These implications suggest the need for a more considered approach to communicating
about the cancellation to prevent allegations of prejudice and demonstrate the value of such events.
Academic literature has typically taken a metrocentric perspective to studying LGBTQI+ pride events, with limited attention being paid to rural LGBTQI+ pride events, particularly from an organization ...perspective. This study addresses this gap by developing a framework to assist with
the organization of pride events in rural communities. Ten experts with experience of organizing such events in rural communities were interviewed. The aim of the interview was to identify the components that needed to be managed when organizing such an event and considerations relevant to
implementing each component. Seventeen components were identified that needed to be addressed at different points in the event organization process-that is, before the event, during the event, and after the event. Based on these components, the Rural Pride Event Organization Framework
is put forward.
The Authentic and Hubristic Pride scales (Tracy & Robins, 2007) have been used in hundreds of studies aiming to investigate the popular 2-facet model of pride (Tracy & Robins, 2004, 2007), and they ...continue to be the primary assessment tools used for that purpose. In 2014, in this journal, Holbrook et al. (2014a, 2014b) raised concerns about the validity of these scales' scores, such as arguing that the Hubristic Pride scale did not measure pride at all, whereupon Tracy and Robins (2014) responded to defend these scales' scores' validities. Marshaling extensive additional data collected in recent years, in the present paper we (a) corroborate some of the central concerns earlier raised by Holbrook et al., and (b) raise novel additional concerns about these scales, such as severe deficits in the Hubristic Pride scale's measurement precision. We conclude that the Authentic and Hubristic Pride scales are invalid for the purpose of operationalizing Tracy and Robins' 2-facet model of pride. We call upon the field to rewind existing research on the topic and reboot with new measures that can validly assess the still potentially groundbreaking 2-facet theory proposed by Tracy and Robins (2004, 2007).
Dickens and Murphy (2022) claim that the Authentic and Hubristic Pride (i.e., AP/HP) scales (Tracy & Robins, 2007), which we developed and validated over 15 years ago, do not validly assess the ...theoretical constructs of authentic and hubristic pride (e.g., Tracy & Robins, 2004a, 2007). These authors further call for the development of new measures based on a top-down approach, which would incorporate the theory into scale items. Although we appreciate Dickens and Murphy's emphasis on the need for valid assessment tools in this important research domain, we disagree with their conclusion that the extant scales are "fundamentally invalid." Here, we explain why a top-down approach would not be preferable to the bottom-up one we used and review the relatively large body of evidence supporting the validity of the extant AP/HP scales. Dickens and Murphy also raised several concerns regarding the HP scale specifically; most of these, as we explain, are either incorrect, exaggerated, or valid concerns but not ones that invalidate the HP scale. Nonetheless, we agree with Dickens and Murphy's suggestion that the AP/HP scales could be improved, and we echo their call for future research in this vein. Finally, we recommend that scholars seeking to advance the field in this way adopt the "living document" approach advocated by Gerasimova (2022).
In the present research, we propose a new perspective on multifaceted pride based on merits of achievements. We define merited pride as the feeling of accomplishment resulting from achievements one ...believes primarily resulted from internal factors, and unmerited pride as a similar feeling resulting from achievements one believes primarily resulted from external factors. We examine how these newly proposed facets of pride differentially affect conspicuous consumption. We propose, and three studies confirm, that individuals with unmerited (vs. merited) pride show a higher propensity for conspicuous consumption. Furthermore, we identify the need for signaling status as a psychological mechanism underlying the effect of pride on conspicuous consumption. Finally, we find that the proposed effect is more pronounced when the achievements are framed as nonfailure rather than as success. The current research contributes to the literature by supporting our new perspective on multifaceted pride and demonstrating the link between the newly proposed facets of pride and conspicuous consumption. Our findings have practical implications with regard to the design of advertising messages for luxury products and consumer education programs for people who are addicted to conspicuous consumption.
The present research explores the relationship between anticipated emotions and pro-environmental decision making comparing two differently valenced emotions: anticipated pride and guilt. In an ...experimental design, we examined the causal effects of anticipated pride versus guilt on pro-environmental decision making and behavioral intentions by making anticipated emotions (i.e. pride and guilt) salient just prior to asking participants to make a series of environmental decisions. We find evidence that anticipating one's positive future emotional state from green action just prior to making an environmental decision leads to higher pro-environmental behavioral intentions compared to anticipating one's negative emotional state from inaction. This finding suggests a rethinking in the domain of environmental and climate change messaging, which has traditionally favored inducing negative emotions such as guilt to promote pro-environmental action. Furthermore, exploratory results comparing anticipated pride and guilt inductions to baseline behavior point toward a reactance eliciting effect of anticipated guilt.
Pride expressions draw attention to one's achievement, and therefore can enhance one's status. However, such attention has been linked to negative interpersonal consequences (i.e. envy). Fortunately, ...people have been found to regulate their pride expressions accordingly. Specifically, pride expressions are lower when the domain of the achievement is of high relevance to observers. We set out to replicate this effect in a non-Western sample. Additionally, we extended the current finding by investigating the moderating role of self-monitoring, an individual's ability and willingness to adjust their behaviours under different social contexts to cultivate status. This allows us to explore the previously assumed underlying status motive in regulating pride expressions. Data from two preregistered studies (
= 913;
= 1081) replicated the effect that pride expressions are inhibited when the achievement domain is relevant. A significant main effect of self-monitoring was found, such that high self-monitors express more pride than low self-monitors, consistent with the conceptualisation of self-monitoring as rooted within a status-enhancement motive. The assumed interaction effect between domain relevance and self-monitoring was not significant. Our findings suggest that the effect of domain relevance on pride expression is robust and status driven.

To provide support for the theoretical distinction between 2 facets of pride,
authentic
and
hubristic
(
J. L. Tracy & R. W. Robins, 2004a
), the authors conducted 7 studies. Studies 1-4 demonstrate ...that the 2 facets (a) emerge in analyses of the semantic meaning of pride-related words, the dispositional tendency to experience pride, and reports of actual pride experiences; (b) have divergent personality correlates and distinct antecedent causal attributions; and (c) do not simply reflect positively and negatively valenced, high- and low-activation, or state versus trait forms of pride. In Studies 5-7, the authors develop and demonstrate the reliability and validity of brief, 7-item scales that can be used to assess the facets of pride in future research.
