The march of the “BH Pride Parade” to the destination took place without incident

The BH Pride Parade, the fifth in the series, has reached its final destination – the National Theater in Sarajevo, where it will deliver its speech and hold a corresponding cultural and artistic program.

Numerous participants from the LGBTQI+ population, activists and citizens set off from the Historical Museum to this place at 6:00 p.m.

During the peaceful march, which passed without a single incident, they carried both LGBTQI+ and Palestinian flags and shouted numerous slogans that echoed through the city.

“This is protest,” “This is pride,” “This is freedom,” “This is love,” “Free, free Palestine” are just some of the messages that were heard.

The organizing committee points out that this year’s theme is related to violence and that they want to make the wider social community aware of what members of the LGBT community suffer in their daily lives due to discrimination based on different sexual orientation. They stress that they are firmly against any kind of violence.

“We join all Prides that stand in solidarity with the Palestinian resistance and send a clear message against war and oppression. Solidarity, anti-fascism and anti-militarism are among the core principles of our collective and our movement,” the organizers said.

On the streets are citizens who are not part of the parade and stand on the sidewalks while the participants pass by.

This BH Pride parade was secured by strong police forces and among those present were politicians and other public figures, writes N1.
