Gay pride in Milan

30 June 2018

Gay pride or LGBT pride is the positive stance against discrimination and violence toward lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people to promote their self-affirmation, dignity, equality rights, increase their visibility as a social group, build community, and celebrate sexual diversity and gender variance.

The Stonewall riots were a series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations by members of the gay community against a police raid that took place in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn in the Greenwitch Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. They are widely considered to constitute the most important event leading to the gay liberation movement and the modern fight for LGBT in the United States.

For this reason it happens every year at the end of June all over the world.

On 30 of June I had the chance to join the Gay pride's march in Milan and it was a strong experience.

I sang, I danced and had fun that day, they're all were polite and happy to be photographed. A lot of colours and music were there in a very hot summer day. Enjoy my perception and participation during that unique day.
