26th LGBTIQ National Pride March Held in Buenos Aires

The 26th LGBTIQ National Pride March was held in the City of Buenos Aires as marchers called for the cessation of femicide and institutional violence.

The march gathered a large crowd as they reached the National Congress under the central slogan of “Enough femicides to transvestites, transsexuals and transgenders, enough institutional violence, pride to defend rights conquered.”

Ramiro Villaverde y Fernanda Curaqueo, some of the first leaders in the LGBTIQ scene and the leaders of the event, were proud of the turnout that seems to signal a bright future as people begin to realize some of the challenges, institutional or otherwise, that these minority groups face.
