- PRIDE! BCN

Pride 2019

PRIDE Barcelona is an event for everyone, a space where collectively we can can be heard and become visible, a place to celebrate and make a stand. From here we want to send a message to the world:

We have to love ourselves more. We have to love the outsiders, the people around us, those who are different from us and also those who think differently from us. We also have to show more respect for ourselves, it is because love has thousands of shapes and colours. Many times that’s the only thing we need. A little bit of love. A hug. A smile.

Barcelona has always been a city with an open heart and respect for diversity. We cannot forget about this. It’s time to get this feeling back. We want to gout out and scream that there is love for everyone. No matter who you are, no matter where you come from, this is for you.

From the second half of the 20th century until today we have had many advances to guarantee equal rights for LGTBQ people around the world.

And it is clear that they have not made it easy for us. But if there is something good about difficulties, it is that they unite. Perhaps that is why the best that we can celebrate today is that, above all and with our differences, we are one big family.

A big huma family, diverse and inclusive.

Formed by other families.

LGBTI Families

Families formed by memebers of the LGBTI community have existed since ever. But they have not always had social recognition.
Or even less, legal rights. Although homosexuality has been decriminalized in most Western countries, there are still very few in which the right to marriage or adoption is granted.

That is why this year PRIDE BCN becomes the speaker of LGBTI families. An open and diverse space to celebrate love beyond gender identity. Where to continue claiming that there is no single family model. That there are infinite variables that make each family unique and special. And that all of them are equally valid.

Here and anywhere in the world.

We are always families

We have created a campaign so that families tell their experience and are the undisputed protagonists of this edition of PRIDE BCN.

Here are the 11 families that took place in this years campaign:

Families formed by LGBT people have always existed. What has not been given since then is the social recognition and much less the legal one. In fact, there are many countries where not only are not yet recognized, but are considered illegal and condemned and from here we claim that we are family always, everywhere.
