Accept is the LGBTI organisation of the Republic of Cyprus and the group behind Cyprus Pride, which has been marching through Nicosia since 2014 and reached its eleventh edition in 2026. Its work is law reform, police and teacher training, research and public campaigning, and before an election it puts questions to the political parties and publishes what they answer.
For a visitor it is the place to ask what is on. Accept publishes the Pride festival programme, which runs over several weeks and several towns before the march itself, holds community meetings under the name Rainbow Meetings, and takes reports from anyone who has been the victim of or a witness to a homophobic or transphobic incident on the island.
