The antifascist and antiracist LGBTIQ+ Pride march was a massive embrace and a powerful political gesture that sets the agenda . In the streets of Buenos Aires—but also throughout Argentina and in various parts of the world—thousands of us marched from Congress to Plaza de Mayo, in a massive column made up of different sectors and groups: from sexual diversity, human rights, unions, students, migrants, people of color, political parties, social organizations, and also thousands of self-organized individuals who joined with their wonderful handmade signs.

The banners we saw echoed with different demands, written with love and fury, our bodies vibrating and energized. Because even though yesterday we marched in a different direction, the reverse of the Pride March that generally goes from Plaza de Mayo to Congress, we marched in unity. And we shouted loudly so the world could hear: not one step back.

Love in the streets, fascists in the closet

Just as when the 2x1 law was announced (the attempt to commute the sentences of genocidal criminals convicted of crimes against humanity), yesterday we took to the streets en masse, united, to loudly proclaim that Argentine society defends democracy with all the rights it has achieved. The Gender Identity Law, marriage equality, Comprehensive Sex Education (ESI), the trans and travesti employment quota, and the non-binary ID card are part of our identity as a people. So is taking to the streets to defend democracy. And yesterday, thousands who are not part of LGBTQ+ collectives embraced the rights of diversity but also protested against the economic plan that underlies hate speech.

The Mothers of Plaza de Mayo joined in, and the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo endorsed them. And the embrace of them, of the memory of the struggles that brought us here—those of the human rights organizations, those of Pride, those of trans fury—was as present as the defense of trans children and youth. A united Argentina will never be fascist.
