Presentes director María Eugenia Ludueña spoke with Franco Torchia about the XXVII LGBTIQ Pride March in Buenos Aires: how young people took to the streets en masse to put their bodies on the line to celebrate diversity, show their pride, claim their rights, and defend their identities and desires.
A day of celebration with a Plaza de Mayo filled with thousands of people and a massive march heading towards the National Congress.
From Ushuaia to La Quiaca, all the mobilizations and calls to celebrate LGBTIQ+ Pride this year: find your city and join in.
Around 200,000 people took to the streets of Buenos Aires to celebrate LGBTQ+ rights. This photo gallery shows how the 26th Pride March unfolded, from Plaza de Mayo to the National Congress.
Around 8:30 p.m., half a block from Plaza del Congreso, three men attacked people leaving the demonstration. One of them struck 33-year-old Juan Víctor González in the head with a hockey stick. After midnight, the young man was released from the hospital with seven stitches. The assailant was arrested.
The 26th LGBTIQ+ Pride March mobilized around 200,000 people from Plaza de Mayo to the National Congress in Buenos Aires. With slogans like "Stop the femicides of transvestites, transsexuals, and transgender people, stop institutional violence. Pride to defend the rights we have won," the march began at noon…
This year's mobilization took place in a context of growing hatred in the country against what conservative sectors call "gender ideology," and today's slogan was "against state terrorism towards LGBTI people."
