Photos: OUTBermuda Hosts Pride Prom Event

August 26, 2023

OUTBermuda held the ‘Pride Prom’ event last night and also presented the first ever Bermuda Pride Icon Awards to the “teams behind three pioneering local organisations that’ve been instrumental in the pursuit of LGBTQ+ equality in Bermuda,” with awards presented to Rock Island Coffee, Two Words & A Comma and the Bermuda National Library.

A spokesperson said, “OUTBermuda will hand out our first ever Bermuda Pride Icon Awards to the teams behind three pioneering local organisations that’ve been instrumental in the pursuit of LGBTQ+ equality in Bermuda.

Allyship: Rock Island Coffee

A spokesperson said, “Rock Island has been a vocal, trusted ally ever since it opened its doors, allowing our community to gather for nearly 30 years. It’s been the designated meeting space for advocacy winners Two Words & A Comma, and now hosts OUTLET, OUTBermuda’s peer support group for LGBTQ+ youth. They’ve never wavered in their support.

Advocacy: Two Words & A Comma

“Two Words & A Comma’s dedication to the advancement of human rights in Bermuda is unparalleled. When the Bermuda Parliament approved legislation to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in 2013, it was the direct result of years of work by these committed activists.

Community Building: Bermuda National Library

“The team at the Bermuda National Library have been longtime advocates for our community, working to ensure LGBTQ+ Bermudians from all walks of life can see themselves reflected on its shelves. The BNL is the embodiment of a safe space, committed to inclusion.”

    Congratulations to the awardees . Sticking your head out and doing the right thing in homophobic Bermuda is not easy . It’s nice to see the recognition after all this time.
