This new year promises to be a key moment for the LGBTQIA+ community in Belgium and across Europe \u2014 a time full of hope, purpose, and shared pride.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A year to keep resisting and celebrating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The past year reminded us that visibility and LGBTQIA+ rights can never be taken for granted. With the rise of online hate speech, the rollback of protections in several European countries, and persistent social divides, 2025 tested our collective resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it also proved our strength. Local associations, youth collectives, queer artists, and allies have kept our spaces of freedom, joy, and culture alive. Brussels, Li\u00e8ge, Ghent, and Charleroi have all pulsed to the beat of Pride marches, drag shows, screenings, and community debates. This activist and creative energy \u2014 built on love and courage \u2014 will remain our compass in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_3931.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-49616\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_3931.jpg 480w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_3931-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_3931-9x12.jpg 9w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Two major events not to be missed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This new year will be marked by two major highlights:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The Belgian Pride<\/strong>, on\u00a0<strong>May 16, 2026<\/strong>, in\u00a0<strong>Brussels<\/strong>, celebrating its\u00a0<strong>30th edition<\/strong>.
