PRIDE OF PLACE

HUNDREDS joined the Chief Minister and other top Gibraltar leaders at Casemates Square to celebrate Pride with the local LGBTQ+ community. In one of the most well-attended events of the Pride event in local history, ministers from the Government agreed with leaders of the Opposition about the need to oppose homophobia and the social marginalisation of minority groups. After the speeches, the parade wound its way down Main Street with a huge rainbow flag borrowed from Spain. After the action, international music and dance acts took centre stage for the rest of the night. Chairperson of the LGBTQ+ Committee Lorraine Olivera reminded the public that a sexual identity was not a choice.
