The Norwegian Police Security Service (PST) has recently assessed the threat level against Pride events in Norway as moderate, with no current indications of impending violent attacks against LGBTQ+ gatherings for the upcoming year. This follows a noted decline in the number of threats against Pride since 2023, reinforcing the idea that the overall environment for such events has improved. PST's evaluation indicates confidence in the safety of Pride, suggesting that previous concerns about potential violence may be lessening.

In addition to the decrease in reported threats, the police have confirmed that, over the past year, there were no terrorist attacks targeting Pride or LGBTQ+ venues in the West, including Norway. This assessment suggests a concerted effort from law enforcement to monitor and mitigate risks in relation to these gatherings. The police are not only prioritizing resources for Pride events but also actively encouraging individuals to report any threats that may arise, fostering a community mindset around safety and vigilance.

Despite the positive outlook, PST anticipates that threats and hateful expressions, particularly verbally and digitally, will still emerge in 2026, suggesting a persistent undercurrent of hostility that could affect LGBTQ+ individuals. However, the report implies that most threats remain rhetorical rather than physical, emphasizing the need for continued support and solidarity within the LGBTQ+ community during Pride events.
