Queer Amsterdam vindt het belangrijk om gender los te laten, verbinding te vinden bij elkaar en bewustwording te creëren vanuit een intersectioneel perspectief. Anti-discriminiatie op alle vlakken is één van onze kernwaardes.Al met al streeft Queer Amsterdam naar een Pride waarbij de macht en zeggenschap vanaf onderop wordt bepaald. De organisatie neemt een coördinerende en faciliterende rol aan (in plaats van een sturende) en probeert er voor te zorgen dat alle stemmen in de gemeenschap een plek krijgen. Er is eenheid in diversiteit die wordt gegarandeerd door een visie die verbinding en samenwerking centraal stelt. Dit kader is opgesteld door het bestuur en de directie en biedt handvatten, maar vooral veel ruimte voor zeggenschap, autonomie en onafhankelijkheid. Wij zien de Pride als een middel ten behoeve van het doel, namelijk: het bewerkstelligen van gelijkwaardigheid en bestrijden van ongelijkheid voor de LGBTQIAP+ community in Amsterdam en Nederland (en het liefst daarbuiten).
