Float in Rome’s Pride Parade

Pride was celebrated around the world this weekend, including Rome, Athens, Warsaw and West Hollywood. 

Saturday’s march in Warsaw marked the end of ‘Equality Days,’ a week-long festival with the slogan Live, Love, Be. 2,000 people took part in this year’s parade. Warsaw police were out in force to prevent attacks by extreme right sympathisers, although the parade passed off without major incident. Bans on Polish Pride festivals in 2004 and 2005 were found to be unlawful by Polish courts and the European Court of Human Rights.

More than 10,000 people took to the streets in Rome for the Pride parade, which had previously been denounced as “an act of sexual exhibition” by the city’s mayor Gianni Alemanno.

In Athens, Pride festivities were disrupted by right wing sympathisers. Police had to intervene. One of the four people married in a same-sex ceremony last Tuesday attended.
