In these days the different celebrations of the Pride Day or Gay Pride They occupy the streets of many cities and dye them with the colors of the rainbow. Claim, culture, visibility and party they urge tolerance and equality.
A good occasion to remember what is commemorated and to take stock of where we came from and what is the way to go. 45 years of the Stonewall riots that the following year originated the First Pride Parades in New York and Los Angeles And, although the progress that has occurred since then for the LGTBI community is immense, it should not be forgotten that this has also been the year of the persecutions in Russia, the homophobic demonstrations in France, the public insults of gays under the pretext prosecute pedophilia and prison and death sentences in many countries.
From ignorance you can still hear expressions of the type "but, can you know what they are proud of?", Without knowing that the English term "Pride" refers to the intrinsic dignity of every human being. Dignity beyond sex, orientation or sexual identity.
The affirmation of an eyewitness of Stonewall continues today:
"There was something in the air, freedom, that was needed a long time ago, and we were going to fight for it".
