Wiki Loves Pride, India was held during July 2014, culminating with offline events in Bangalore, Delhi and Mangalore on July 19.
As part of an all-day event, A GLAM Day Out, guest archivist Bob Skiba, LGBT archivist at the William Way LGBT Center in Philadelphia, talked about LGBT history in Philadelphia and about some very exciting initiatives. Over the next year there will be a number of LGBT-related exhibits at different galleries, libraries, and museums in the Philadelphia area including Constitution Center, the Mutter Museum, the Library Company of Philadelphia and more. The LGBT archives have also received a grant funding a substantial expansion, doubling their space and installing climate control and other features at the archives.
A dozen people attended the afternoon's "Wiki Loves Pride" editing event, creating 2 new articles and editing others. One of the new articles is for the Anna Crusis Women's Choir, the first feminist choir in the United States, which has been active in supporting LGBT rights and other social justice causes. Photographs relating to the forty-year history of the choir are being released as we obtain the appropriate permissions to cover their licensing.

Wikidata is a free knowledge base that can be read and edited by humans and machines alike. It is for data what Wikimedia Commons is for media files: it centralizes access to and management of structured data, such as interwiki references and statistical information. Wikidata contains data in every language supported by the MediaWiki software.
June 2014 saw the creation of the LGBT task force at Wikidata, which seeks to improve LGBT-related content. In addition to the creation of this new group, a report was created which consists of people who have been identified as LGBT at English Wikipedia, but not at Wikidata. This is one of several projects being discussed by task force members. 10 users joined the LGBT task force in June 2014.
