Fifty years ago, the stone wall movement in New York opened the curtain of the gay rights protection movement. Today, fifty years later, the annual pride parade (gay pride) has finally arrived again.
Western countries are taking to the streets today for the rights of the LGBT people, and the cultural center of Paris is no exception.
The streets and alleys are colorful, and rainbow flag flutters on everyone's smiling face.
Starts at 2 pm. No matter how hot it is, the large army set off from Montparnasse in the harsh sun, and wherever it goes, it is a festival celebration.
Parade Theme
The 41st Pride Parade held in Paris today In addition to a large festival party,
is also an opportunity to make strong "political demands" —Filiation, PMA (procréation médicallement assistance): marre des lois a minima!
Bacteria first literally explain it to you - Parent-child relationship, medical assisted reproduction: Tired of the minimum law.
In fact, what LGBT+ wants to say is: Please let us have a fair and legal child. Why does
have such a slogan? We can learn a little from the parade poster.
In the poster we can see a balance with a striking sight. The right end of the scale is a rabbit wearing a rainbow flag and a toy car flying the rainbow flag; the left end of the scale is inspired by Lewis' " Alice in Wonderland ": a book " Civil Code " is pressing against a rabbit tightly.
I wonder if you have noticed the dark blue background - a wall painted by a child, which implies that this is a child's room.
The whole poster wants to express a seemingly fair and unfairness.
Things are like this, so far in France, PMA is limited to heterosexual couples, and at least one member of them is sterile or suffers from a serious illness that may be transmitted to the spouse or child.
This is a serious blow to homosexual couples who want children. If you want children, they must try their best to do all kinds of ways. In the end, most people will choose to go abroad to have a child.
Although on June 12, French Prime Minister Edward Philippe promised that the improved medical assisted reproduction (PMA) bill would be implemented as soon as possible: the improved PMA will appear in the bioethics bill passed by the Council and then debated in Parliament at the end of September.
But for people in the LGBT community, there is still a lot of discrimination in this bill: 's newly revised bill still excludes many LGBTQI+ people from the PMA.
Many LGBTs believe that in this bill, trans and intersex people have been completely forgotten . Because in the definition of the bill, they have "a big problem" in giving birth.
In addition, although the bill opens up the right to protect oocytes, such expensive expenses do not have any financial support. This means that only the rich can obtain eggs , which is unfair.
In addition to the unfairness of the bill itself, PMA's long and insecure procedures also made LGBT worry. The
Act only considers those who receive PMA in the French medical system, but ignores those who travel thousands of miles to foreign countries to receive PMA.
, and in France, there is no positive recognition of surrogacy personnel, which makes PMA implicit many "unspeakable" unsafe factors.
What if LGBT just wants to adopt a child? If
can apply for adoption simply, LGBT will not shout about the PMA reform.
In fact, LGBT's application for adoption documents are almost always left at the bottom of the family committee.
These documents are always delayed under various excuses. No matter how long it takes, they will never escape the fate of being rejected.
So this Pride parade is an opportunity for the government to hear LGBT's voice.
Parade Route
Parade starts at two points from Montparnasse, head to St. Michel Avenue in the fifth district, and then pass through to Cité to St. Michel Square, and then arrive at Place du Chatelet along Boulevard du Palais.
will continue to cross the Sébastopol and Saint Martin in District 1 at 16:30 pm, and finally reach the end of the site - Place de la République.
Today's parade is expected to be attended by 500,000 people from all walks of life.
Facing a "asphalt" parade of 5.5 kilometers under the bright sun, various volunteers, all kinds of first responders, and all kinds of security guards were ready. The nine small blue dots in the parade route map are the water supply area.
Parade Activities
After arriving at Place du Chatelet at 16:30 pm, all participants will be silent for three minutes.
For those who use their lives to defend LGBT rights, for those who have been fighting AIDS all their lives, and for the fairness that will eventually come, is silent, praying, and looking forward to .
After finally arriving at Republic Square, a large-scale concert will be held.
There are also various donation activities for each year along with the pride parade.
will set up donation boxes in front of several bridges on the parade route this year. The donations collected by the march last year were about 15,000 euros, and all of this donations have been invested in today's march organization.
But this is far from enough than donating, because the budget for today's Pride Parade has reached 100,000 ues .
◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆
This time the Pride Parade is another important purpose of to give all LGBTs in the world more courage!
In recent days, various blatant discrimination against LGBT have occurred around the world, and the homophobic forces of are also expanding.
What is more worrying is that these homophobic forces are becoming more and more violent. has gone from cyber attacks to violent behaviors in reality . The world needs to understand LGBT more, and needs to give more tolerance to through understanding.
In fact, in this chaotic world, there are many confusing things. Try to understand and tolerate, so that you can let others go and yourself.
