Porto Pride 2009 + LGBT Pride Parade

The Porto Pride is carried out with the support of GLBT establishments of Oporto that close doors and move their staff to the venue. On the other hand several GLBT associations support the promotion of the event. The Porto Pride is also a place of promotion of the activities of diverse entities and a significant part of the revenue reverts in favor of institutions of social solidarity or support to HIV+ (Porto Pride has donated more than 12'000 Euros to the Joaquim Urbano Hospital since 2001).
