The seventh-annual Curacao Pride is a five-day, event and party filled celebration in the rainbow-covered Caribbean country, running September 25-29.
The highlights include a Pride Walk, Pride Happy Hours, beach party, White Party and Boat Party.
Curacao Pride stems from a group of gay professionals and allies who, in 2013, came together to form The Curaçao Pride Organization, Gay Pro. A group dedicated to showing that being gay is normal and, as such, should receive the same rights and privileges as bestowed upon other groups in society.
Curacao Prime Minister Eugene Rhuggenaath has participated in Curacao Pride in the past.
"Every year we make more progress in acceptance," Curacao Pride organizers stated. "As the Curacao Pride Organization, we find it very important to inform people and to support educational projects. We believe that education is the basis for acceptance."
Curacao was the site this past spring for the inaugural Caribbean Gay Spring Break Festival, which featured an appearance by Diego Summers, known for his unique DJ sound and sex appeal in porn. He joined hundreds of spring attendees, and then the muscle-packed Amsterdam-based Summers shared his Top 10 Moments from the Caribbean Gay Spring Break Festival with GoPride.com
1) Arriving ...When you arrive on Curacao, you immediately experience the hospitable way of the (locals). A car was waiting for me to take me to the Floris Suite Hotel – Spa and Beach Club, which is an amazing resort! What a perfect start!
2) Feeling the freedom and lovely sun waking up the next morning. My suite was facing a giant pool. After a dark winter in Europe which is still ongoing, it was amazing to see the sun reflect in a pool surrounded by palm trees. Heaven!
3) Lunch ON the beach after a good workout.
4) And well, at that gym I managed to make a naughty video for my onlyfans.com page.
5) The Friday night Rainbow Lounge XL happy hour ...it was wonderful to see such a nice mixed community come together. And hot guys ...many hot guys!!
6) Saturday afternoon. My friend arrived from Holland. Her stage name, "C'eau de Toilette" came to support me in one of her amazing outfits. Preparation time!!
7) Later on Saturday, my crew arrived from my resident party in Amsterdam, "Backdoor." That was all that was missing for the main night, and we then were ready to go all out!
8) When it was my time to DJ, I felt that positive vibe from everybody. The positive, open-minded and excited people motivate me to give it my all. And that's just what I did. I have to say, it was amazing the volume and quality that was created just for this gay festival ...it was excellent! There are not many places that understand (the saying), 'When you do something, you have to do it well.' Well, the Floris Suite Hotel does understand this (saying).
9) The boat trip (was) a super, relaxing, fun way to close this amazing weekend. Going around the island with the biggest gay rainbow flag you have ever seen. I see competition for the Amsterdam Canal Pride.
10) When you don't want to go home, it means you had a great time. And yes, I had a great time. I did not want to go home, and look forward to seeing you next time, Curacao!
