Before Pride started, CEO of Liberate Guernsey Ellie Jones said there was a sense of "shame" for islanders who often felt unable to express their true selves. The first Pride event was held in Jersey in and the year after it was held in Guernsey. Ms Jones said: "I think we kind of underestimate the power of being able to see your community embrace you. Ms Jones said organisers of the first Pride event only expected a few hundred attendees, but instead they welcomed thousands.

The Islands of Guernsey are a safe place for everyone to express their true, authentic selves, and we are proud to celebrate the range of different communities, cultures and beliefs that make up our Islands. This joint event between the Islands of Guernsey and our neighbour, Jersey is organised by Liberate, the Channel Islands' equality and diversity charity. There are events held globally, from marches and parades to evening celebrations, shows and filmed broadcasts. We are fortunate that for generations this attitude has prevailed in our people, our laws and our leaders, meaning that, as a democratic society, we can hold differing views and our differences are resolved through debate not violence.
Every year, Google searches about Pride skyrocket. So we asked Ellie Jones, CEO of local charity Liberate, to answer the most-Googled questions and to give us insights into the most popular 'near me' local searches. Every year a parade, march, protest, etc. was held, and then across the globe that got repeated.
