Celebrated pride this year in Madrid

World Pride Madrid 2017 🌈💪

Madrid is literally FULL of LGBTQ+ people and pride flags, y'all! I already walked past so many queer couples from so many different countries and everyone's looking so content, because it's pride week and they neither have to hide here nor fear negative comments from anyone. The locals are so welcoming to the folks who are gathering here for world pride, it's INSANE! There was a mum with her tiny daughter who asked why people were putting pride flags everywhere and why some were carrying rainbow stuff with em and the mum literally kneeled down next to her kid and explained what pride is!!! (It was a beautiful scene and I was about to tear up, because this is how all parents should react and talk to their kids about LGBTQ+) Long story short - I'm fucking happy. Madrid is such a welcoming city, everyone's looking forward to the parade, people are gayer than usual and I hope this is how the future for all countries could look like.

No se trata de sentirse orgullo por lo que uno es, ni una fiesta. Se trata de tener los mismos derechos. De que no te escupan, insulten o agredan por la calle por amar a quien ames. Se trata de que no te detengan, torturen y ejecuten por tu condición sexual. Se trata de recordar (siempre) a las mujeres y hombres que se dejaron la piel y la vida por no traicionarse a sí mismos ante la intolerancia. Se trata de derechos humanos. Saldremos a la calle por los que nos precedieron, por nosotros mismos y por los que vendrán. Esto no es una fiesta, es visibilidad y un acto de reivindicación. #lgtbi #gaypridemadrid #worldpridemadrid2017 #whoeveryoulove #madridlovesyou #respect #mutualrespect
