Pro LGBT was established in 2011 in Tirana, when the Albanian leading activist Kristi Pinderi, Erjon Tela and a core group of other activists like Alba Ahmetaj and Edlira Mara got together and decided to contribute to the Albanian queer movement by raising awareness regarding LGBTQI issues, at both national and international levels.
Pro LGBT focuses on culture, media, storytelling, community work and advocacy. Their news portal, Historiaime.al, which is the first and so far the only queer news outlet in Albania, addresses LGBTQI people’s rights. It has become the main communication hub for the entire movement in Albania, and an authoritative source at the regional level.
Pro LGBT also works with national and international media to raise awareness about and improve their coverage of LGBTQI issues.
Pro LGBT is determined to change and improve social attitudes and views on sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and sex characteristics. They fight to protect and promote human rights and give voice to all marginalised communities in Albania.
