"Pride is not just a summer event. It is a celebration, but it is also a manifestation of human rights. He is serious and joyful. It's a reminder of the progress we've made, but also of all that still remains to be done. This is a responsibility we all share. Both me and you. We must not remain silent. We must speak on behalf of those who do not have the courage to speak, for those who are not allowed to and for those who cannot. Here in Sweden and the Nordic countries, we have come a long way when it comes to LGBTQI rights. But what we take for granted is unthinkable in other parts of the world. In many countries, same-sex relationships are illegal. Young people are forced to hide and deny their love and identity. LGBTQI people are persecuted, harassed and even imprisoned. For me this is absolutely inconceivable. (Princess Victoria of Sweden)"
