Marche des Fiertés: Hundreds of thousands march for Pride in Paris
Hundreds of thousands of people turned out to celebrate the annual LGBTQ+ Marche des Fiertés (Pride March) in Paris this year.
Taking place on 25 June, the day’s cold and damp weather appeared to have no effect on the crowds who showed up in honour of equality.
The march, which GAY TIMES took part in, moved from metro station Michel Bizot to the Place de la République, a distance of around three miles.
Placards displaying messages of love and support for the LGBTQ+ community could be seen at every turn, including “stop á la transphobie” (stop transphobia), “j’ai le droit d’être qui je suis” (I have the right to be who I am) and “marcher fièrement aujourd’hui pour que demain la honte change de camp” (walk proud today so that tomorrow shame changes sides).
