The motto of Pride 2019 has been «History, Struggle and Memory! By state law »

GAYLES.TV.- After the hangover it's time to take stock. Just 24 hours after the massive march of the LGTB Pride of Madrid analyzing headlines is an interesting task. Many media are distracted in the anecdote and ignore that this 6 July it has been special. The bravery and struggle of those who led the way has finally been recognized. Those who were present are excited to remember thousands of people thanking the most veteran. It was justice. How unfair it is for Citizens to shout «freedom»When he pacts with the homophobe.

They carried the main banner with pride, activists who let their skin for rights LGTB + when those acronyms did not exist yet. People who with their visibility and their struggle have allowed us all to be freer. We owe them a lot of the rights achieved. They were the engine of this struggle in which their greatest achievement is that people can love each other freely. Almost nothing.

Uge Sangil, Jordi Petit, Federico Armenteros, Armand de Fluvià, Paco Tomás, Maria Giralt, Boti García Rodrigo, Carla Antonelli, Beatriz Gimeno, Toni Poveda, José María Núñez and about thirty activists were in charge of leading the march and holding the main banner with the slogan «Seniors Without Lockers: History, Fight and Memory! By a state law«. Rosa Araujo, Pedro Beguería, Olga Alarcón and Maribel Torregrosa they read the manifesto in the Plaza de Colón of Madrid with the cries of «Not a step back" Y "Fuck the Vox" background.

La State Federation of Lesbians, Gays, Transsexuals and Bisexuals (FELGTB) and Collective of Lesbians, Gays, Transsexuals and Bisexuals of Madrid (Cogam), organizers of the protest event, issued a statement in which they thank the public for the massive follow-up of the demonstration «to honor the first generations of LGTBI activists ». The march was attended by more than 400.000 people, according to the police, and 1,6 million according to the organizers. Dance of multicolored figures.

Last Saturday everything happened. A man assaulted a gay couple in full Pride to the shout of «fucking fags!»Few hours before the demonstration. The 45-year-old alleged assailant insulted them and even slapped one of them. He has been arrested and charged with a hate crime. Four people were injured, one of them seriously and the other three slightly, when they fell from one of the floats that participated in the demonstration during their tour of the crossing of the Calle Montalbán and El Paseo del Prado from Madrid. The accident occurred when the fence that surrounded the float gave way and the victims rushed to the ground.

Ciudadanos He achieved his goal of provoking and then victimize himself and thus leave in the media. Let them talk about one at any price. But Madrid he stood up to the cry of «Not pass«. As the brave historical activists did years ago. A flying can (we condemn the launch, of course) served as an excuse to light the fuse and talk about violence. In reality, the violent thing was that those who have fought to defend our rights have to share their day of pride and vindication with orange politicians who agree with whoever attacks them. The world upside down.
