Three thousand people LGBTQ+ people and allies marched though Pairs at the weekend calling for equal rights and racial justice. The march took place a week after the original date for Paris Pride 2020 which like many other Prides around the world has been postponed due to covid-19\. A diverse crowd marched behind a banner which declared “our pride is political.” A number of marchers carried banners in support of Black Lives Matter and chanted “everybody hates the police.”

Social distancing was maintained and many wore masks in line with guidance from the French government Emma Vallee-Guillard said Saturday’s rally took place in response to calls made by several groups and that it was important to mark the event. “Pride, in the beginning, was a riot,” she said, referencing the Stonewall riot in New York in 1969.This year marks the 51st anniversary of that first Pride gathering.

“The danger of rolling back our fundamental rights is very present and the epidemic has revealed multiple factors of exclusion, discrimination and violence,” said Giovanna Rincon, director of Acceptess-T which defends transgender people.
