Pride around the world - Gay Matchmaking Agency - London New York Berlin Toronto - The Echelon Scene

What a Pride season! Filled with connection and celebration across the world. It’s been a joy to witness our community and Clients come alive in so many different cities - NYC, LA, Toronto, London, Berlin, Zurich and San Fran, to name a few. Music pulsing through the streets, strangers dancing together, and an unspoken understanding that at Pride, you are celebrated exactly as you are.

Pride means something different to everyone and that’s what makes it so powerful. Some of the gay men in our network feel most alive in the energy of the crowd, surrounded by LGBTQI+ friends and allies. Others find deeper meaning in more intimate settings, simply taking a moment to reflect on how far they’ve come. And of course, some don’t take part at all, which is more than okay. Pride is deeply personal, and there’s no one right way to experience it.

This year brought countless smaller, quieter moments that were just as meaningful. Heartfelt messages exchanged across borders reminding loved ones they’re seen and valued. These are the threads that weave the bigger story of Pride - the everyday acts of love, care, and solidarity that keep our community strong long after the parades are over.

In Zurich, we saw a vibrant yet intimate celebration where tradition met new voices in a powerful show of solidarity. NYC was, as always, bold and unapologetic. Toronto brought its signature warmth and inclusivity, drawing people from across the region into a truly community-driven festival of love and acceptance. London lit up with pride (and glitter), with our members sharing everything from rooftop moments to long-overdue hugs in the heart of Soho. Berlin was electric - a celebration of freedom, individuality and the city's iconic queer spirit. And LA, never one to do things halfway, gave us pure sunshine and sparkle, with Pride parades and parties that reminded us just how joyful visibility can be.

As the season wraps up, we’re reminded of what unites us beneath all the celebration: a shared desire for connection, authenticity, and love. At The Echelon Scene, we’re proud to support gay men in their pursuit of meaningful relationships. Whether that begins with intentional gay dating or leads to the kind of long-term love that transforms your life, our bespoke matchmaking service is here to help.
