There will be activities before and after the LGBT+ Pride March in Guadalajara.
The LGBT+ Pride March in Guadalajara is getting closer, and this year it will be held under the motto “Crime is not loving, crime is hating.” Hundreds of people from Guadalajara will gather on June 8 at 2:00 p.m. in the Perla Tapatía.
This march is an opportunity to make the LGBT+ community visible, as well as demand their rights and fight against discrimination and hatred, in the midst of an environment of violence and intolerance.
What will be the route of the Pride March in Guadalajara?
The march will start at the La Minerva roundabout, then move along López Mateos, Hidalgo and Chapultepec avenues, and the end point will be at the Las y Los Desaparecidos roundabout, in Guadalajara.
It should be noted that a second march will be held on June 15, however, between these days, activities and events will be held before and after the marches.
This June 8th, a concert will be held in which the singer Carolina Ross, interpreter of songs such as “Puñetas Mentales” or “El color de tus ojos”, will perform.
In addition, different groups and people who identify themselves as part of the LGBT+ community will participate, and according to Fascinación Jiménez, from Unión Diversa Jalisco, an attendance of more than 100 thousand people is expected.
“The meeting is at 2 o’clock at the Glorieta Minerva and we expect an attendance of more than 100 thousand people this year, including mothers and fathers, the LGBT+ population, activists, civil associations and socially responsible companies,” said Fascinación Jiménez, from Unión Diversa Jalisco.
This year, those who will cut the ribbon and lead the march are the direct and indirect victims.
“Like the family of Yesenia, a lesbian girl who was missing, we will also be joined by the families of Karla and Kenia, these two trans girls who disappeared in the municipality of Zapopan since September 18, 2020, Zoé, a trans girl who was attacked here in the historic center with acid, will also accompany us to cut the ribbon,” explained Jiménez.
As is done every year, they will also march to demand the free exercise of all their rights, in addition to the need for public policies.
“Through actions such as the recognition of the daughters and sons of LGBT families. Work spaces free of discrimination, public health policies to serve the population of sexual diversity, the classification of hate crimes and hate speech and the homologation of ECOSIG issues,” said Juan Carlos Becerra, general secretary of Unión Diversa Jalisco.
