Mexico City (apro) – As it has every year for more than four decades, the LGBTTTIQAP+ Pride Parade will take place in Mexico City this June.
The demand for this year’s march was: “Stop hate speech and crimes based on sexual orientation, expression or gender identity.”

The event, also known as Pride, has the motto “In the face of an oppressive state and an indifferent society: we demand to live with dignity!” and will begin next Saturday, June 29, at 10:00 am.
The route will start at the Angel of Independence, continue along Reforma Avenue, reach Juarez Avenue, and finally reach the Zocalo Plateau.
As in previous years, a competition for the selection of the poster was held, and the winner this time was Juan Andrés Pérez Rodríguez.
June is Pride Month in many countries, commemorating the Stonewall Uprising that took place in New York City that same month in 1969. Community residents demonstrated against a police raid on a bar called the Stonewall Inn, a place where a diverse group of people could gather freely.
In Mexico, gay men participated as members of the Mexican Gay Liberation Front during a parade marking the anniversary of the Cuban Revolution in July 1978. The following year, in 1979, the first Gay Pride Parade was held in Mexico City.
